What do we mean by success? Do we mean financial success as the ultimate one? Maybe I have to ask don't we mean financial success as the ultimate one? In our era, it is sad but true that we mean it. People advise us to study, be something good in the profession and something like this. But they hardly advise us to be a good person. However, as a human beings, we have to cultivate the humanity inside us. That's what makes us successful in life.
And when it comes to parents' success, it must be the success of their children. It is not like that they had admitted the children in the best schools, they are healthy, they became millionaire and etc. It is rather connected with the issue of growing humanity and kindness inside their children.
Can you say when parents become happy? When they see that their children have been grown up decent. They are happy when they see their children help other people. And though it cost them, they would be happy to do and support their children.
Here I want to mention a story that I recently learned. It's a story about parents who were tensed about their son's growing up.
So, the story began when the boy was in standard 4. His parents always wanted him to be generous and helpful to others. When he was a little boy, they wanted him to share his toys with other kids. And so he did.
But suddenly the parents noticed food to be disappeared. They were very tensed when it happened regularly. They asked the boy if he was related to this. But he felt shy and denied it. The parents didn't tell him anything but they were tensed because they wanted their son to be a decent man.
However, the issue became a matter of concern when they noticed that money was been lost too. This time they didn't ask the boy anything. They just followed him secretly when he went out.
The mother was so worried about what she would see. She thought that their son had mixed with the bad boys. But when they reached, they were not expecting what they saw.
The boy met with a street girl at his age and gave her money and food. The girl was shy to take it, but he said that she needed to eat and have some money. And that moment the parents went towards them. The boy was so shocked and thought that his parents were going to rebuke and scold him. So, he quickly said that he could explain.
The mom smiled and said that they didn't need an explanation. Then they learned that the girl had a family, but her parents only cared about themselves. They never gave her food or clothes. Even sometimes her mom ordered her not to return home until the next evening because they would have guests. It was clear that they didn't need the girl and she started begging to live.
The boy's parents were determined to eradicate her miseries. So, they adopted her. It was not difficult enough because the girl's parents already abandoned her. And thus their family got a decent son and a wonderful girl.
So, see we can make our parents proud with our small generous work. Believe me, they never ever go against you, rather they will always support you and will always stand by your side. And this is the ultimate success.
So, don't miss the chance to make your parents successful!
