Discover the Heartwarming Tale of Love, Wealth, and Success in One Family's Choice

A beautiful story for all of you. Must Read!

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No," she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in," they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a house together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"

Hi Gayathri,

Thank you for your lovely words. Were you the one who attended the first Cite HR meet in CP? If you are the same person, do you remember me?

The story is very interesting and an eye-opener for the current generation. People who are simply running after wealth and success are forgetting the basic concept of loving people. Keep it up, amdprasad.

Hi Sujata,

It's a lovely story. I think it can also be said like this: "Love your job, wealth, and success will follow you."

It was an excellent story. In contrast with the management, if love and affection are present in an organization, the company will automatically succeed, and wealth will be generated.

Beautiful story. I do agree that with love, everything else does follow, but it really takes lots of love to be able to do that, and it won't be easy too. However, to achieve the best in life, you MUST give your best... isn't it?

Hello Sujata,

This is a nice and inspiring story for everyone. In the present materialistic society, "WEALTH" supersedes the other two, i.e., "LOVE" and "SUCCESS." Our father of the nation (Late) Bapuji once gave a quote that "LIFE WITHOUT LOVE IS CREMATION." This quote has a deep meaning, and everybody should realize it. Love not only exists between two opposite sexes but also exists everywhere. Most vital and important is to love human beings to enjoy this material world. Thank you once again for posting this story.
