The Angel's Visit

The Verba Seniorum, a collection of texts on the monks who lived in the desert at the beginning of the Christian era, tells the story of a hermit who managed to spend a whole year eating only once a week. After so much effort, he asked God to show him the true meaning of a certain passage in the Bible.

He heard no answer.

“What a waste of time,” said the monk to himself. “I made all that sacrifice and God does not even answer me! Better get out of here and look for some other monk who knows the meaning of this text.”

At that moment an angel appeared before him.

“The twelve months of fasting only served for you to believe you were better than the others, and God has no ears for the vain. But when you were humble, you thought of asking your neighbour for help, and God sent me.” And the angel told the monk what he wanted to know.

David and Goliath

Goliath was a giant man who struck fear in everyone's heart. David, a young shepherd, when visiting his brothers asked,"Why don't you all stand up against Goliath and fight him?"

"Don't you see he is too big to hit?", came the reply.

"No, he is not too big to hit", said David,"he is too big to miss."

Then, David fought with Goliath and killed the giant with sling shot.

People who see positive things in unfavourable situations are bound to be successful.

डेविड र गोलिएथ 

गोलिएथ नौ फीट उचाई भएको अजंगको राक्षेसी प्रवृत्तिका व्यक्ति थिए जसले सबैको मनमा डर भरेका थिए।  सत्र बर्षका गोठालो डेविड आफ्ना दाजुहरुलाई भेटेर सोध्यो,"किन सबैजना मिलेर त्यो गोलिएथसंग नलडेको?"

जवाफ आयो,"तिमी देख्दैनौ, ऊ यति ठूलो छ उसलाई हान्नै सकिन्न।"

"ऊ धेरै ठूलो छ", डेविडले भन्यो,"त्येसैले त जहाँ हाने पनि लाग्छ ! "

त्यसपछि डेविड र गोलिएथ बीच द्वन्द भयो जसमा डेविडले गोलिएथलाई गुलेलीले मात्र हानेर मार्यो।

नकारात्मक परिस्थिति भित्र सकारात्मकता देख्न सक्ने व्यक्तिको पछाडी सफलता आउनै पर्ने हुन्छ।
