"When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world,sick of its business,of its pleasure tired,how gracious,how benign is solutide."
-William Wordsworth
Was reading a book which was in my shelf from past few months.Every time I used to see that book I felt that "Guess book is not for younsters"...(the book was a gift)...
Today after reading that book I truly understood the meaning of saying..."Never estimate the book based on the cover".The book is filled of simple wisdom that anyone can benefit from.There was one chapter which jus left a mark in my heart...
It says"Its not enough to be busy,so are ants.The question is what are you so busy about?"
The story of an old lighthouse keeper.The man had only a limited amount of oil to keep his beacon lit so that passing ships could avoid the rocky shore.One night,a man who lived close by needed to borrow some of this precious commodity to light his home,so the lighthouse keeper gave him some of his own.Another night,a traveller begged for some oil to light his lamp to keep on traveling.The housekeeper gave him the amount he needed.The next night,the house keeper was awakened by a mother banging on his door.She prayed for some oil so that she could illuminated her home and feed her family.Again he agreed.Soon all his oil was gone and his beacon went out.Many ships ran aground and many lives were lost becoz the lighthouse keeper forgot to focus on his priority.
Everybody should keep themselves centered on thier highest priorityin life.
