Integrity, discipline, self control and fear of God makes a man wealthy, not the fat bank account:

*Just too good*👇

```At the point of death, a man, Tom Smith, called his children and he advised them to follow his footsteps so that they can have peace of mind in all that they do..

His daughter, Sara, said,
"Daddy, its unfortunate you are dying without a penny in your bank..
Other fathers' that you tag as being corrupt, thieves of public funds left houses and properties for their children; even this house we live in is a rented apartment..
Sorry, I can't emulate you, just go, let's chart our own course..

Few moments later, their father gave up the spirit..

Three years later, Sara went for an interview in a multinational company..
At interview the Chairman of the committee asked,
"Which Smith are you..??"

Sara replied,
"I am Sara Smith. My Dad Tom Smith is now late.."

Chairman cuts in,
"O my God, you are Tom Smith's daughter..?"

He turned to the other members and said,
"This Smith man was the one that signed my membership form into the Institute of Administrators and his recommendation earned me where I am today. He did all these free. I didn't even know his address, he never knew me. He just did it for me.."
He turned to Sara,
"I have no questions for you, consider yourself as having gotten this job, come tomorrow, your letter will be waiting for you.."

Sara Smith became the Corporate Affairs Manager of the company with two Cars with Drivers, A duplex attached to the office, and a salary of £1,00,000 per month excluding allowances and other costs..

After two years of working in the company, the MD of the company came from America to announce his intention to resign and needed a replacement. A personality with high integrity was sought after, again the company's Consultant nominated Sara Smith..

In an interview, she was asked the secret of her success,,

With tears, she replied, "My Daddy paved these ways for me. It was after he died that I knew that he was financially poor but stinkingly rich in integrity, discipline and honesty".

She was asked again, why she is weeping since she is no longer a kid as to miss her dad still after a long time..

She replied, "At the point of death, I insulted my dad for being an honest man of integrity. I hope he will forgive me in his grave now. I didn't work for all these, he did it for me to just walk in".

So, finally she was asked, "Will you follow your father's foot steps as he requested ?"

And her simple answer was, "I now adore the man, I have a big picture of him in my living room and at the entrance of my house. He deserves whatever I have after God".

Are you like Tom Smith..?
It pays to build a name, the reward doesn't come quickly but it will come however long it may take and it lasts longer..

Integrity, discipline, self control and fear of God makes a man wealthy, not the fat bank account..

Leave a good heritage for your children..

A father’s dedication and sacrifice towards children’s education:

- "I never told my children what my job was. I never wanted them to feel ashamed because of me. When my youngest daughter asked me what I did, I used to tell her hesitantly that I was a labourer. Before I went back home every day, I used to take a bath in the public toilets so they did not get any hint of the work I was doing. I wanted to send my daughters to school, to educate them. I wanted them to stand in front of people with dignity. I never wanted anyone to look down upon them like the way everyone did to me. People always humiliated me. I invested every penny of my earnings for my daughters’ education. I never bought a new shirt, instead I used the money for buying books for them. Respect is all I wanted them to earn for me. I was a cleaner. The day before the last date of my daughter’s college admission, I could not manage to get her admission fees. I could not work that day. I was sitting beside the rubbish, trying hard to hide my tears. All my co-workers were looki...

The invention of the school/college system:

- Have you ever thought about why we have to send our children to school? Do we have the choice not to school our child? The school is considered so holy that there is no life without school. The school/college is more important than bread, butter, and water. Schools and colleges that we see today are the products of history. In the beginning, for hundreds of thousands of years, children educated themselves through self-directed play and exploration. There were no master plan buildings and closed cages (classrooms) as we see today or been in one of the cages ourselves. In relation to the biological history of us as humans, schools are very recent institutions or the factories of discipline (one of the synonyms of discipline is punishment). The meaning of discipline in English is ‘the practice of training people to obey rules and behave well’. The education system as we know it today is only about 200 years old. Before that, formal education was mostly reserved for the rich. B...

We should always calculate the consequences of our actions:

- *The consequences of our actions* A young man saw his primary school teacher on a wedding. He went to greet him with all the respect and admiration. He said to him: "Do you remember me, Teacher?" The teacher said: "No, introduce yourself." The student said: "I was your student in the 3rd Grade, I am the one who stole the watch of a child in the classroom. I will remind you but I am sure you remember the story." One of the boys in my class had a beautiful watch, so I decided to steal it. He came to you crying that someone had stolen his watch. You asked us to stand so as to search our pockets. I realized that my action would be exposed in front of the Students and Teachers. I will be called a thief, a liar and my character will be shattered forever. You asked us to stand and face the wall and close our eyes completely. You went searching from pocket to pocket, and when you r...

- Self-respect is an important part of our identity because it reflects how we view ourselves, which in turn impacts every area of our life, including our relationships, work, and social life. Respecting and loving ourselves is the first step toward gaining the love and respect of others. Everyone expect that their dignity, identity and body is safe and protected from exploitation. This to make sure our self respect is protected.

Exploitation can take many forms including human trafficking, forced labour, sexual exploitation, criminal exploitation, debt bondage and domestic servitude. Of the above types, sexual exploitation is becoming frequent among youngsters. Youngster might be considering a person as colleague or a friend, but that person might be taking advantage of that connection or power or...

It's the time for education to enhance the children's world view and understand that there is so much beyond money, fame and power.

- Today's education makes us look at the world through a key hole and limits us to it. We make all our major life decisions based on this limited perspective. We need to widen that keyhole for us and our children by providing them with the education that made the first generation of this caring world. With such a perspective, we can see more, know more and the possibility of growth is immense.. The urge for Money, fame, power comes out of that key hole. That's why our children like the career which can give money, fame, power. Like an example, you ask any child what they would like to become, they will say, Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, IAS, CA. And you will rarely see or do not see children mention, Artist, Nurse, Teacher, Social change Activist, climate change Activist etc. It's the time for education to enhance the children's world view and understand that there is so much beyond money, fame and power. That's true meaning of education.

Jaya Bachchan gives an emotional, sensical reply, “Why is it, I want to ask, that Indian women are wearing more western clothes?”

- Jaya Bachchan asks why Indian women are wearing more western clothes: We've accepted it gives that 'manpower' to a woman. “Why is it, I want to ask, that Indian women are wearing more western clothes?” Shweta, the daughter of Jaya Bachchan said, “Yes with the industrial revolution and when all the men went to war and women started working in factories. So they had to wear pants because you can't be doing heavy machine work with…”. This is the technical and need based situation when women started wearing men-clothes, but why do we think wearing of men-clothes makes women look powerful. Don't you think women are more powerful in their own way? We don't want western clothes to make our women feel empowered, powerful. Women are already powerful and respected. Jaya makes an emotional, sensical reply, she says in the conversation, "I feel what has happened is very unknowingly, we've accepted that the western clothing is more… it gives that manpower to a w...

Children should come to believe that - "I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed"

- *Exclusion Culture* They bring nine chairs for ten children, and they tell the children that the winner is the one who gets the chair, and whoever remains without a chair is out of the game. Then they reduce the number of chairs each time and a child comes out every time. Until one child remains and he is declared the winner. The child learns the culture of “Myself, myself, and in order to succeed, I must remove others.” And in Japanese kindergartens, they play the game of chairs too And they also come with nine chairs for ten kids, with a difference That they tell the children that if one of you remains without a chair, everyone loses. All the children try to hug each other So that ten children can sit on nine chairs And then they reduce the number of chairs successively With the rule remaining that they must make sure that no one remains without a chair, or else they will all lose The child learns culture *"I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed"* *From Ex...
