Found This Story with a Wonderful Lesson and Thought I Should Share it With You!


It's About Honesty.

An aging King realized that if he died he has no one to take over the throne.
He decided to adopt a son.

He launched a competition and 10 boys made it to the top.
The King said to them, "I have one last test and whoever
comes top will become my adopted son and heir to my
throne".

The Ageing King

He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them to take it home,
plant and nurture it for three weeks.
The 10 boys took their seeds and ran home to plant them.

In one home, one of the boys and his parents were sad
when his seed failed to sprout. The boy had done everything
but he failed.

His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant it,
but his God-fearing parents who had always taught him
honesty refused. The day came and the 10 boys went to the
palace. All the 9 boys were successful except the last who's
seed did not sprout.

The King went to each boy asking ? “Is that what came out of
the seed I gave you?" And each boy said "Yes, your majesty".
The King would nod and move down the line until the
last boy in the line who was shaking with fear. The King asked
him - "What did you do with the seed I gave you?" The boy
said "I planted it and cared for it your majesty, but it failed to
sprout." The King went to the throne with the boy and said,
"I gave these boys boiled seeds and a boiled seed cannot
sprout."

If a King must have one quality, it must be honesty, and only
this boy passed the test.”

We live in a society where people will do anything for success.
God sometimes does not give us things because He
wants to teach us a lesson.

How many people out there have achieved success the wrong
way? How many people send their children to expensive
schools and build houses, buy expensive cars with stolen
money?

How many people are occupying top positions yet they stole
the certificates? How many people are successful out there at
all costs?


"How Many People will be crowned as Kings
in heaven for being faithful until the end?
I pray that I be faithful till the end! "



Please be faithful to God no matter what life throws at you,
even if life gives you boiled seeds.

I hope you can spare your precious time to share this to
people who would be more than happy to cherish and to
always be faithful in their daily life.

A professor articulately said this to his students.

Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.  Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. Think more of becoming an excellent person than becoming an excellent student. "Academic excellence is overrated ! I said it.  You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer. The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memor ize it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.  School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.    So, do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no! You should. ...
