The Story of a Lost Watch !


Welcome to 54th Monday Musings:



Once there was a farmer who lost his watch in the barn.

It wasn't an ordinary watch because had had so much sentimental values for that watch.

After searching in the hay for a long time he gave up and asked the help of a group of children playing outside. He promised them that whoever would find it would get a very nice reward.

Hearing this, the children rushed to the barn, went through the entire stacks of hay, but couldn’t find the watch.  Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy asked him to be give him some more time.

The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks pretty sincere."

So, the farmer sent the little boy back to the barn.

After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!

The farmer so surprised and very happy.

He asked the boy how did he find it while all others failed.

The boy replied, "I did nothing but sit in the barn and listen.

In the quietness, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction

Moral of the story :

A peaceful mind can think better than a stormy mind.

You get peace of mind not by thinking about it or imagining it, but by quietening and relaxing the restless mind. Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every now and then, and see, how good it helps...!


Make it a great Week !
