I hope you'll be inspired and motivated by this SHORT STORY. Happy Reading: A young man in need of a job some years ago was asked the following question at the interview. . . . The question inspired me to change my outlook and how I approach problems. . . HERE GOES THE QUESTION: . You are driving alone in your car on a wild, stormy night. . . You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus. . . 1. An old lady who looks like she is about to die. . . 2. An old friend who once saved your life. . . 3. The perfect man/woman you have been dreaming about. . . NOTE: THINK VERY WELL BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING...

The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow". After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, What is this?"

"It's a crow, a crow".A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?" This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not abl...

It is very important for our parents and 'future' parents to carefully read this post and take the lesson home-little things matters. Read This: I witnessed a serious drama some time ago between my neighbour(a single mum) and her 16yrs old daughter-Blessing. Blessing had lived with a woman she has been calling 'Auntie' for the past 16yrs without knowing who she was to her.

The mother put her through school, buy her cloths and every other thing but one-she failed to tell her daughter that she was her mum and to stop her daughter from call her 'AUNTIE'. The father visited once in a long time and didn't really contribute to his daughter's well being- Blessing called him 'DADDY' On that fateful day, mama Bles...

This an Inspirational Story, a must read to everyone. Read This: Mr. Okon was a very hardworking man who delivered bread as a means of living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, he hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family. The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Mr. Okon passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. Like a dream come true, he could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries ...
