WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?
This is a true story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. Japanese
houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down
the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from
outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same
time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the
house was first built. What happened? The lizard has survived in such position
for 10 years!!!!!!! !!! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it
is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for
10 years!!! without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed! So he
stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and
how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came appears another
lizard, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the
lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past
10 years..

Bend But Dont Break (Story) |
|
One of my fondest memories
as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would
enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream, and listen to the
chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the
bamboo trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully
to their upright or original position after the wind had died down.
