Quotes for Kids

Raj is a middle aged man. Although he was born in a poor family, he was raised well by his
father and mother. His father owned a welding shop, and used to work for more than 12 hours a
day, so that his family could lead a comfortable living.
However, Rajs father could not earn su!cient money to provide a decent life to his family. Raj
was an average student in school, and used to score around 70 percent marks. Rajs dream was
to become a Doctor. Since his marks werent very high, he could not get the desired course
that he wanted to study. Instead, he joined a bachelors degree course, completed the course
successfully, and got a job in a company.
While his life was going on with no dramatic change, his father continued to work in his welding shop, so that he did not have
to depend on Raj. After getting a permanent job, Rajs parents wanted him to marry. He got married to a girl from his native
town, and at the same time was also promoted in his job. After a few years, his wife gave birth to beautiful twin boys.
Later Raj began to earn a handsome salary, and started to live luxuriously. He bought a new house and a new car. Some of the
luxuries were really unnecessary. Although, his company provided him with a car, Raj went and purchased a new car!
After a luxurious lifestyle that spanned for almost 6 to 7 years, Raj was not able to manage all the household expenses, nor was
he able to pay for the childrens education and other basic necessities.
His father fell sick, and as a result, could not continue his work in the welding shop. He requested Raj to give some money for
his treatment and other household expenses.
Raj, who was already su-ering from .nancial crisis, shouted at his parents and told them that he had no money to provide.
Raj complained to his parents, You never send me to a big school. I was not provided with expensive clothes. You rarely fed me
with my favorite food; nor was I able to taste di-erent varieties of food. When I got low marks you didnt have enough money to
provide me with private tuition, and it took me more than 10 years to get settled. Now, while I am again struggling for money,
you did not do anything to help me, but instead are a burden to me! So, please dont come to me again.
His parents were left shattered.
After a week, while Raj was on an o!cial tour, he met a small boy aged about 10 years selling toys. The boy requested Raj to
buy something. Raj asked the boy why he was selling toys instead of studying and helping his parents. The boy replied, My
father met with an accident a year ago and he lost one hand. He cannot work now. My mother works as a maid in a few houses.

Motivational Stories

Raj purchased a few toys from the little boy, and left a wiser person, as he had learned a lesson from the small boy.
At a very small age, this boy was helping his parents, but Raj, in order to meet his lavish lifestyle, had neglected his parents.
So, what can we learn from Raj and this poor, small boy?
