Friends, while storytelling has a rich tradition in our country, it seems to be fading in today's digital age.

Stories are a powerful tool for learning and understanding, benefiting both children and adults. Our aim is not only to entertain you with new stories but also to convey meaningful messages. We hope you enjoy our stories. Here is a fascinating tale for you:

"Precious Time - A Wonderful Story"

Once, a teacher in a school classroom asked her students, "If you had 86,400 rupees and someone stole 10 rupees from you, what would you do?"

The teacher continued, "Would you chase the thief to recover the stolen 10 rupees, or would you move on with the remaining 86,390 rupees?"

The majority in the class responded that they would ignore the insignificant amount of 10 rupees and continue their day, securing the remaining money.

The teacher said, "Your honesty and observation are flawed because I've seen most people lose the remaining 86,390 rupees while chasing after the 10 rupees."

Seeing the students' confused expressions, the teacher further explained, "These 86,400 seconds are actually our daily seconds. In small matters or moments of anger and frustration, even just 10 seconds, we spend the rest of our day brooding, feeling resentful and consumed by envy; thus, we lose our remaining 86,390 seconds."

The students, now curious, asked, "Sir, is this possible? Who would do that?"

The teacher replied, "These 86,400 seconds represent our daily lives. We shouldn't let a few moments of anger or negativity deprive us of the freshness and beauty of our entire day."

Let go of the small things. Don't let a few moments of anger or negativity steal the vibrancy and beauty of your entire day.
