A short but interesting story!!!

This is a story of a boy who learnt a few things in life from his experiences.

Story 1...
He was 6 and was very much interested in gardening. Hence he noticed that few fruits are sweet in taste and few are sour in taste. But he didn't know how it happened, even though both trees were grown in the same environment. Then his experiments with life started. He sowed a Neem seed and after a few days when the plant started to grow he started nurturing it with sweet water and added sugar in the urea for its proper growth. He did this for a long time and expected a sweet fruit from it. But when the first one fruited, the boy tasted it and found that it was still sour. He was upset and enquired his father about the result. His father calmly said that this is the theory of cause and effect.

Lesson no 1: if you want sweet fruits you have to plant trees that yield sweet fruits. .

Story 2. .
He grows. . He is 12 now. . He was still interested in gardening. .This time he planted a mango tree, but was not committed to his work. . He didn’t nurture the trees with proper fertilizers and insecticides needed. For a long time he didn’t even water the plant. Hence after growing for a few days the plant died because of an attack inflicted by some insecticides. One fine day when Troy returned to check the fruits, he found the plant dead. He got disappointed and enquired about the failure. . His father said that this is the theory of hard work and discipline.

Lesson no 2: if you don't have discipline in your life and you don't have ability to work hard then don't expect the fruits (good results).

Story 3. .
He grows. . He is 18 now but his interest towards gardening remains the same. .This time he planted a palm tree. . He did a thorough study about the essentials for the proper growth. . But he continued with his experiments. . Knowing all the essentials he doubled the amount of fertilizers required and started watering the plant very frequently in order to get good fruits immediately. .After a few weeks the plants died. . He again got disappointed and enquired his father about the failure. .His father calmly says this is the theory of patience & perseverance.

Lesson no 3. . If you want fruits you should have perseverance, have to work hard and be patient for the results...

Story 4. .
He grows. . He was 22 now. He planted a coconut tree and nurtured it with all the above. .i.e. he followed the theory of cause and effect, he was disciplined and worked hard. He then waited for 2 years and then finally got a fine coconut tree with lots of coconuts in it. . Now he is 24. . He reported his victory to his father. .
His father calmly says, son, this is the magic formula for victory, success, happiness. .

Lesson 4: if you want to be victorious in life you need to follow all three theories. .

This brings an end to the biiiiiig story of a simple boy. .hope it was not boring and you can make some sense out it.
