Darkness falls
over a small village in Kenya. Kenya is a country in Africa. The people who
live here are herders, and their cows are resting in a nearby wooden
cattle-pen. All is quiet.
Suddenly the cows raise their heads. They feel something is outside their pen. It’s a female lion ready to break in and attack. Her sharp claws rip at the walls of the pen. The frightened cows run in different directions. The lioness tears through the fence and races toward the nearest cow. All the noise wakens the herders. They run to the pen, but they’re too late. One cow is dead, and the lioness is gone. Scared off by the herders, she left her prey behind. The lioness returns to her two hungry cubs without a fresh kill. They greet her and rub their faces against hers, but she cannot stay long. She has to hunt again so her cubs won’t go hungry.

The herders wait
for the lioness to return. Losing livestock to lions is a big deal for these
herders, as cows, sheep and goats are like money for them. They use the animals
to pay for what they need. If one is killed, life becomes harder for the
herders.

Once there was a man who had three daughters and was a single parent to
his children. One morning he asked his eldest daughter, Sonya, to wash the
breakfast dishes before going to school. But she was already running late, so
she burst into tears. The father decided that she was just trying to get out of
an unpleasant chore, and he demanded that she dry her tears and get back to
work immediately. She silently obeyed him, but that day they were driving to
school in silence.
The man dropped his daughters and moved to the office. He tried to work
but couldn’t concentrate — all he could see was his daughter’s scared,
tear-stained face as she climbed out of the car. So he decided to say sorry to
his daughter. He took permission from the school to take his daughter for
lunch. When she came out, he turned towards his daughter and said, «Sonya, I am
sorry. It’s not that I shouldn’t have asked you to help out at home, but I had
no right to it this morning without any previous warning. I upset you at a time
when you most needed my love and support. And I let you go without saying, « I
love you. Please forgive me. »

In ancient times, there was a King who decided to have
an experiment. He placed a huge stone on a roadway. Then he hid himself and
watched to see if anyone would remove it. Some of the king’s wealthiest
merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed
the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting
the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along; he was carrying a load of
vegetables. Upon approaching the huge rock, the peasant laid down his burden
and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and
straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of
vegetables, he noticed a purse lying on the road where the rock had been. The
purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the
gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

There was a
blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone,
except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she
could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend. It was close to
Christmas, and she secretly dreamed to herself that it would be the perfect
time to get married.
One day,
someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able
to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked
her, «Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?» The girl looked at
her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids
shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest
of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Besides he was not as handsome as
some other strong, muscular, pretty guys she could now see all around her.
So she said
she wouldn’t marry him.

Once upon a time
there was a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well.
After carefully analyzing
the situation, the farmer decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth
the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbours together, told them
what had happened, and asked them to help bring dirt to bury the old mule in
the well.
When the old mule
heard that, he was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbours started
throwing dirt into the well, a thought struck the mule. He realized that he was
able to shake the dirt off and step up!
This was what he
did. «Shake it off and step up... shake it off and step up... shake it off and
step up!» He repeated to encourage himself.
No matter how
distressing the situation seemed, the old
mule fought panic and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up.
It wasn’t long
before the old mule, battered and
exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like it
would bury him actually helped him... all because of the manner in which he handled
his adversity.
That’s life! If we
face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to
panic, bitterness or self-pity, the problems that come alone to loury us
usually have within them the potential to benefit us.

There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye
pain. He consulted so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. But
the ache was even more severe than before. At last a monk who was supposed to
be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the millionaire. The
monk understood his problem and said that for some time he should concentrate
only on green colours and not let his eyes fall on any other colours.
The millionaire got together a group of painters and
purchased barrels of green paint and directed that every object his eye was
likely to fall on be painted in green colour just as the monk had directed.
When the monk came to visit him after a few days, the
millionaire’s servants ran with buckets of green paint and poured on him since
he was in red dress lest their master see any other colour and his eye ache
come back. Hearing this, the monk laughed and said, «If only you had purchased
a pair of green spectacles, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots
and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of your fortune.
You cannot paint the world green.» Let us change our vision and the world will
appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves
first.

Once upon a time there lived a young man and his wife.
They lived poorly but happily as they loved and respected each other greatly.
One day, the wife, who was beautiful and had very long hair, asked him to buy
her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.
The man felt very sorry but he had to say no. He
explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch
he had just broken.
The wife did not insist on her request.
The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold
his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.
He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand
ready to give it to his wife.
He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very
short haircut. She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band.
They looked at each other and tears flowed from their
eyes, not for the nobility of their actions, but for the sincerity of their
love.

Whether we love them or hate them, we tend to magnify celebrities’
places in our lives.
The fact is, feeling closer than we are to the stars is not unhealthy,
at least for a majority of us. Through the media, reality shows and social
networking, it’s easier than ever to keep up with celebs in real time. That
kind of access creates what’s known as «the illusion of intimacy», says Cooper
Lawrence, author of «The Cult of Celebrity».
The direct access that many celebs provide makes us privy to many
details of their lives. And as Lawrence points out, many stars aren’t exactly
shy about sharing what outfits they’re wearing, what food they are eating or
what they are doing. We no longer have to rely only on information from a
star’s publicist, but are given a virtual front-row seat to their fears,
heartbreaks, successes and failures.
Most of the time, this behaviour is harmless. As Lawrence points out,
the more common problem is with what she refers to as «celebrity fans». Intense
levels of adoration for a celebrity can be linked to depression and anxiety,
she says.

Most celebrities don’t want
us to know much about their life.

Most celebrities don’t mind
that we get access to some details of their lives.

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, the
flowers were blossoming and the grass was richly green. The people of the
village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank,
around ten o’clock. In some towns there were so many people that the lottery
took two days. But in this village, where there were only about three hundred
people, the whole lottery took less than two hours. The children assembled
first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, but their talk was
still of the classroom, books and teachers.
Soon the men began to gather, watching their own
children, speaking
of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. The women, wearing faded house
dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their men. They greeted one another
and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the
women, standing by their husbands, began to call their children. But the
children didn’t want to come, so they had to be called four or five times.

New York is
an invisible city, a chameleon hiding in plain sight, a place that two people
will never experience in quite the (1)…..way. (2)…..this it is — like all great
cities — constantly being explored, examined, and explained.
But New York
moves (3)….fast to be easily understood.
Just when you think you understand (4)….., the
city dances away, changed. New immigrants (5)…..transforming entire neighbourhoods
of the city. Rents go up, buildings come down, and stable businesses disappear
only to be replaced by new industries that were unimaginable just a few months

caused (7)…..time are the changes caused by place, by ethnicity, by character.
New York is a vision embraced by many people personally, each unlike any other.
Which New York you see depends on who you are and (8)…..you live: my New York
is not, and never will be, (9)…..
But while we may not be able
to live in all of these intersecting cities, (10)…..them is a definite
possibility.
