Do your level best in every situation

Can a sad person make others happy? Can a sad person do his job well? Let’s find out…

⇒ What the Ramayana Says

Long long ago, there was a great kingdom of Koshal. It was one of the best kingdoms in the world. King Dashrath ruled it from its capital city of Ayodhya. He had three lovely wives, Kaushalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi. The king’s Gurus and ministers were very wise. The king was very kind and caring. He treated the people of his kingdom like his own children. He was loved by one and all. Life in Ayodhya was peaceful, and the people had great respect for each other. Everyone was happy, healthy and successful. Yet they all were hard working. There was peace and happiness everywhere. King Dashrath had everything one could ever imagine. Yet he was sad at heart because he had no son. He was getting old, so he was worried about who would become the next king. But he never let it affect his work. He always performed his duties to the best of his abilities.

Just like King Dashrath, we should never let our problems affect our work. And our sadness should not affect others’ happiness. Whether we are happy or not, we should sincerely do our work and try our best to make others happy. This, in turn, will make us better. So if you want to win the game of life, try to help others and spread smiles on their faces.

Let’s Discuss: 

¿  Nowadays most people are not happy, they just smile in pictures. They are not really healthy. They are not content with their life. They feel empty, without any purpose, and they do not even know why. In Ayodhya, people did not have TVs, phones, cars, internet and such things, yet they were very happy. They were also very healthy and successful. Do you know why? 

¿  Wise people say money can’t buy happiness. Are they right or they just don’t know where to shop?
