Two boys X and Y were walking along the beachside, enjoying the cool breeze of the ocean. After a few minutes, they decided to carve their names on sand. But no sooner did they write their names, they got washed away by the ocean tides.

"Our names got washed away", cried X in despair.

"Unfortunately yes", replied Y.

With a sigh, X said,"What's the use of writing our names they'll get washed away. It was all useless".

With a smile, Y replied, "The ocean will take our names to the distant lands. Imagine how famous we can become!"

***

Life is very much similar to this tale.

Carving our names represent our dreams.

Tides represent difficulties.

What lies beyond the sea represents success.

When X faced a difficulty and what he expected didn't happen, he doubted his own efforts.

And Y didn't do so. So, just like Y, if you can take your difficulties in a positive sense and convert the problems to assets, you can reach success.

Both X and Y had dreams. Both wanted to become successful. But their perspectives of handling the problems was different.

Life is an alphabet between B (Birth) and D (Death). The quality of life which you all lead depend upon C (Choices) we make.
