You are unique

You are unique
Story: You are unique! Think what a remarkable, unduplicatable, and miraculous thing it is to be you! Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth, since the beginning of time, not ONE of them is like YOU! No one who has ever lived or is to come has had your combination of abilities, talents, appearance, friends, acquaintances, burdens, sorrows and opportunities. No, one's hair grows exactly the way yours does. No one's finger prints are like yours. No one has the same combination of secret inside jokes and family expressions that you know. The few people who laugh at all the same things you do, don't sneeze the way you do. No one prays about exactly the same concerns as you do. No one is loved by the same combination of people that love you - NO ONE! No one before, no one to come. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE! Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else. You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever in all of history will the same things be going on in anyone's mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now. If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in history, something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it! No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being. Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out among your family and friends and people you meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away! See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you! YOU ARE UNIQUE!

Birbal Turns Tables

22:37 0
Emperor Akbar was narrating a dream. <br><br>

The dream began with Akbar and Birbal walking towards each other on a moonless night. It was so dark that they could not see each other and they collided and fell.<br><br>

"Fortunately for me," said the Emperor. "I fell into a pool of payasam. But guess what Birbal fell into?"<br><br>

"What, your Majesty?" asked the courtiers.<br><br>

"A gutter!"<br><br>

The court resounded with laughter. The emperor was thrilled that for once he had been able to score over Birbal. <br><br>

But Birbal was unperturbed.<br><br>

"Your Majesty," he said when the laughter had died down. "Strangely, I too had the same dream. But unlike you I slept on till the end. When you climbed out of that pool of delicious payasam and I, out of that stinking gutter we found that there was no water with which to clean ourselves and so guess what we did?"<br><br>

"What?" asked the emperor, warily.<br><br>

"We licked each other clean!"<br><br>
The emperor became red with embarrassment and resolved never to try to get the better of Birbal again.

Birbal The Wise

Ram and Sham both claimed ownership of the same mango tree. <br><br>

One day they approached Birbal and asked him to settle the dispute. <br><br>

Birbal said to them: "There is only one way to settle the matter. Pluck all the fruits on the tree and divide them equally between the two of you. Then cut down the tree and divide the wood".<br><br>

Ram thought it was a fair judgment and said so. <br><br>

But Sham was horrified.<br><br>

"Your Honor" he said to Birbal "I've tended that tree for seven years. I'd rather let Ram have it than see it cut down."<br><br>

"Your concern for the tree has told me all I wanted to know" said Birbal, and declared Sham the true owner of the tree.<br><br>

Birbal The Servant

One day Akbar and Birbal were riding through the countryside and they happened to pass by a cabbage patch.<br><br>

"Cabbages are such delightful vegetables!" said Akbar. "I just love cabbage."<br><br>

"The cabbage is king of vegetables!" said Birbal.<br><br>

A few weeks later they were riding past the cabbage patch again. <br><br>

This time however, the emperor made a face when he saw the vegetables. "I used to love cabbage but now I have no taste for it." said Akbar.<br><br>

"The cabbage is a tasteless vegetable" agreed Birbal.<br><br>

The emperor was astonished.<br><br>

"But the last time you said it was the king of vegetables!" he said.<br><br>

"I did," admitted Birbal. "But I am your servant Your Majesty, not the cabbage's."<br><br>

Birbal The Child

Birbal arrived late for a function and the emperor was displeased.<br><br>

"My child was crying and I had to placate him," explained the courtier.<br><br>

"Does it take so long to calm down a child?" asked the emperor. "It appears you know nothing about child rearing. Now you pretend to be a child and I shall act as your father and I will show you how you should have dealt with your child. Go on. Ask me for whatever he asked of you."<br><br>

"I want a cow," said Birbal.<br><br>

Akbar ordered a cow to be brought to the palace.<br><br>

"I want its milk. I want its milk," said Birbal, imitating the voice of a small child.<br><br>

"Milk the cow and give to him," said Akbar to his servants.<br><br>

The cow was milked and the milk was offered to Birbal. He drank a little and then handed the bowl back to Akbar.<br><br>

"Now put the rest of it back into the cow, put it back, put in back, put it back..." wailed Birbal.<br><br>

The emperor was flabbergasted and quietly left the room.<br><br>
