Who is more Richer?

There was a time when Bill Gates was not the richest person (after he was the top richest person on the earth, but now he is on 4th position now). Once he was on airport, he bought newspaper from vendor and gave 100 dollar to him. Vendor told Bill Gates, I don't have change now,  you can give me later.

Same incident took place after few days later, Bill Gates took news paper and gave 100 dollar and Vendor told, I don't have change now,  you can give me later.

After decades when Bill Gates became famous and counted on the top richest personality, went to the same Vendor and started giving him dollar and asked to Vendor, Do you recognize me, I took two news papers and gave dollar 100 and you told me, I don't have change.

The person asked to Bill Gates, now you become very popular what is the use of taking money from you. Vendor smiled and told Bill Gates, "Don't worry, forget about that money ."

Bill Gates was surprised by honesty and satisfaction from that Vendor and thought I could have given 1000 of dollar in exchange of news  paper but that person refused to take.

Once Bill Gates was interviewed and asked by the reporter, "Your are the richest person of the world, how do you feel? Bill Gates smiled and said, "I am not the richest person of the world, there is one person I know him personally who is more richer than me." And he disclosed the name of the news vendor.

Moral of the story is, Richness do not comes by only money there is honesty, integrity, selfless service to the people.

If you want to know, how rich you are? Just count the things around you which money can not buy.


Hare Krishna!

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor,  rich,  educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more. Definition of success changed as per our situation and time as a child, think I will be successful if I get good marks in my exam and the same child after getting good marks started thinking I will be successful if I get a good job.
