KNOW YOUR OWN WORTH

                     •Know Your Own Worth•

You're born with a great meaning and worth. Almighty God has blessed you with great worth. If you fail to know your worth, then you'll never do anything in your life. Your life will become meaningless and purposeless.

Figure out your worth. You'll definitely discover your values and strengths which are hidden within you.

If you've some flaws or weaknesses within you, still you've some worth within you. Ne

ver underestimate your worth. Sometimes, your flaws or weaknesses also become your greatest worth if you do something worthwhile in your life.

A stone is merely a stone if it'll keep unused, but as you strike it with another stone; it'll produce a spark of fire.

In the similar fashion, if you don't use your skills and talents properly for your progress, you'll never know your actual worth.

      "Don't afraid of your flaws and weaknesses,

                          but try to see worth in it."

        "You'll definitely get an opportunity to

         correct your flaws and weaknesses."

One day a young boy went to the Kung fu Master in order to learn the art of Kung fu. The young boy requested the Kung fu Master to teach him all the tactics of Kung fu. However, the Kung fu Master

noticed that the right hand of the young boy was weak. The Kung fu Master didn't disclose anything to the young boy. He just turned down to teach him Kung fu.

The young boy bowed down and requested the Kung fu Master many times to teach him Kung fu. Finally, the Kung fu Master decided to teach the young boy Kung fu.

Then, from the next day, the Kung fu Master started teaching the young boy Kung fu. The boy was very happy and thrilled to learn the art of Kung fu.

Many months passed, the Kung fu Master trained the young boy to fight with his left hand only. Then, one day the young boy asked the Kung fu Master about its reason. But, the Kung fu Master didn't tell

him anything and just told him to wait for the right moment.

After one year, the Kung fu fighting competition was held in the town. Many trained Kung fu fighters, from far off places, were taking part in that competition.

The Kung fu Master asked the young boy to take part in that competition. Initially, the young boy was hesitated to take part in that competition. But, the Kung fu Master told him not to worry about anything; and assured him, that he was perfectly trained and nobody could defeat him in Kung fu.

The competition of Kung fu began and the young boy defeated all the competitors very easily, and he became victorious.

The next day, the young boy asked the Kung fu Master about the reason of his victory. Then, the Kung fu Master told him everything.

"The very first day, you came to me to learn Kung fu, I had noticed that your right hand was weak. So, I had decided not to teach you Kung fu, but you had requested me again and again. Then, finally, I had decided to teach you only with your left hand. And during the course of your Kung fu training, your left hand has become so strong and powerful that you could defeat anybody in Kung fu. You become master in Kung fu."

The young boy was elated and touched the feet of his Kung fu Master.

            "Nobody is perfect in this world."

If you're not perfect in your life, it doesn't mean that you're worthless and you're outcast from this world. You've every right to make yourself perfect and worthy. This is your birthright, and nobody can snatch from you.

When a piece of land is used for growing crops again and again, and year after year, its fertility will maintain, and at the same time, the worth of the land will increase further. However, when the same

piece of land has been allowed to abandon for many years, its fertility will perish, and its worth will degrade as the time passes.

The same thing will happen to you, as long as you work for your growth and development in your chosen field, your skills and talents will enrich, and your worth will increase further.

        "It is always up to you what you really

                want to become in your life."

You'll shine more in your life if you do something great and amazing things even you've flaws and weaknesses.

The players of Paralympics game are all handicapped, but they compete with each other like the normal players, despite they have flaws and weaknesses. They know where their worth is applicable to them.

If you know where to apply your worth, then you'll able to achieve anything in your life.

        "If you discover your hidden skills and

          talents, then you'll know how valuable

                                 you're." 

Don't feel ashamed of your flaws and weaknesses, but try to correct and amend it for your growth and development and for the great cause.

One day a poor man visited to the Swami, and he said, "Swamiji, I am very poor. I have no house to live. I have no work to do. I have nothing. I am helpless. I am spending my life in begging. I am the

poorest man in this world."

Swami smiled and said, "Why? You have two eyes. You have two ears. You have two hands. You have two legs. With your two eyes, you can see this beautiful world. With your two cars, you can listen

to good things. With your two hands, you can do good deeds for yourself. And with your two legs, you can travel anywhere in this world. I have seen you the richest man in this world.

The poor man got enlightenment and he touched the Swami's feet and set out to begin his new life.

Every tiny little thing has some worth to contribute in this world.

It's well known fact that if the bees are extinct or disappeared from this world, then the entire environment of this world will be affected.

Let's look at your own body parts; can you see any part worthless?

No. Every part of your body is important for you whether it is your little fingers or little hair on your body. Every part of your body has a vital role to make you alive. 

      "Don't forget that you're born as a human

        being, the strongest being on this earth."

          "You can do anything in this world."

What are your values? Have you ever asked yourself? What you can do, nobody can do like you. What you can think, nobody can think like you. You're unique in this world. You're born with many special qualities which you're not aware of it. You've to discover it yourself.

Why some people become very famous and well known?

The only reason behind is that they know their actual worth. They know in which areas they are good enough to move further in their lives. They do according to their worth, and ultimately they achieve what they rcally wanted to do in their lives.

William Shakespeare, the famous English author and dramatist; Albert Einstein, the famous scientist; Thomas Alva Edison, the famous inventor of clcctric bulb; Michel Jackson, the famous Pop

singer of all time; Pele, the greatest football player; Lata Mangeshkar, the famous playback singer of Bollywood; Amitabh Bachchan, the Megastar of Bollywood; and Sachin Tendulkar, the God of Cricket; they all become successful in their respective fields only because they all know their actual worth; and they know in which field they are best suited for.

    " If you want to achieve something great in  

         your life, then first of all, you've to know

                         your actual wrorth." 

If you think well, you can become a good thinker or a good philosopher.
