HOW DO YOU RESPOND : INSPIRING STORY

A father and his two sons lived in a single room. The father used to come home drunk and watch TV, disturbing his children's studies. The eldest son was COMMITTED AND CONCENTRATED on his studies, while the younger son followed in the footsteps of his father. Both children grew up. The eldest son got an award for being the best citizen in the town while on the same day; the younger son was imprisoned for a petty crime.

When both were interviewed, the answers they gave were worth pondering. The younger son said, 'All because of my father who created a bad atmosphere at home.' The eldest son said, ' I attribute my success to my drunken father and the unhappy atmosphere; it was an inspiration for me to be different.'

REFLECT ON:

-The situation was the same but the response was different.

-More than the situation it is how we respond to the situation that determines the quality of our life.
