How are you building your life? (A short story)
=====================================
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He has a student who has been learning carpentry at him for a long time.
One day the carpenter called his student and told him “I’m going to stop my profession. Till today we have built so many houses. You followed my orders always. By following my orders, you have built so many houses. Finally, build a house for me. Don’t worry about expenditure. I will spend any amount of money. Use a high quantity of wood. Use high quality of products and items whatever you use for this house. I’m ready to give and spend any amount of money for this house. But build my house carefully”
The student accepted the order of his master. He took a lot of money from him but bought cheap and despicable material. He built the whole house with low and cheap quality items. But he gave shining to the house to look better. Finally, he gave the keys of the newly built cheap quality house to his master.
Then the master returned the keys to his student and said “My dear, take these keys. This house is yours. I wanted to give a wonderful gift to you. Take this house and be happy”.
What a shock !!!!!!!!!!!!
If the student had known he was building his own house, he would have built the same house wonderfully. Now he had to live in the cheap home he had built. He lost the one and only opportunity in his life.
Friends, we too are building our lives in a negligent way. At important points, we do not give our best efforts to our work. We spoil many opportunities. we neglect many things. After some time, we will realize our deadly mistakes. Then there will be no use of regretting about our mistakes.
