Good Morning -
Don't Change the World
Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went on a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he returned to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful because it was the first time he had gone on such a long trip, and the road he traveled was very rough and stony.
He then ordered his people to cover every road in the entire country with leather. This would require thousands of cows' skin and would cost a huge amount of money. One of his wise servants then dared to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?"
The king was surprised, but he later agreed to the servant's suggestion and made a "shoe" for himself. The story holds a valuable life lesson: to make this world a happier place to live, you should focus on changing yourself - your heart - rather than trying to change the world.

RJ, red colour ka peecha karna band karo ab toh yeh bhi tum se pareshan ho gaya... lo ab ek acha sa sher app sab logo ke liye...
Milta kaha hai koi hazaroo ke darmiya,
Ho chand jis tarah sitaron ke darmiya,
Par hai magar parwaz kabhi kar nahi sakta,
Yu kaid kiya parinda tumne taron ke darmiya.

Really its superb...... everytime whtever the worst thing happens we blame our society... according to me a single man can do anything... if everyone changes then society also changes.....

An excellent short story oozing with indefatigable morals. Another way of looking at it is that we often fail to recognize simple solutions to a problem. Hope readers will like the quotes in the attachment.
