Good Morning Friends.

Today in my blog want to ask a question to all my readers.

Why rich people are arrogant, egoists disrespectful, pretentious & proud??.

Is the question unanswered?.

Why don't they understand money is like the flow of water it might be today but won't be tomorrow with them.

Why do people cheat, betray deceive, disingenuous, mislead do frauds to remain & grow rich in their lives? Question unanswered.

Sharing one more inspiring story titled lesson learned from a stranger.

One day, I got on to the bus. 

Seeing the crowd inside, I was upset. 

There was no place to sit. Just then, a person vacated his seat. The man standing next to the vacant seat could have sat there, but instead, he offered the seat to me.

At the next stop, the identical thing happened again. He gave his seat to another person. This happened 4 times during the entire journey. 

The man looked like an ordinary breadwinner, returning home after a long day at work...

At the last stop when all of us got off, I spoke to him. 

"Why were you offering your seat to another person every time you got a vacant seat to sit?"

His response took me by surprise.

"I haven’t studied much in my life nor do I know many things. I don't have much money either. So I don't have anything much to give to anyone. That's why I do this every day. It is something I can do easily for others. It gives me tremendous pleasure when I offer my seat to elderly people, pregnant ladies & disabled people.

"After toiling all day I can stand for a little longer. I gave my seat to you and you said thank you.

 It gave me inner satisfaction that I did something for someone. I do this daily & feel I am contributing in some way or other back to society. 

I go back home exhilarate & delighted every day that I gave something to someone in return." I was speechless!

Wanting to do something for someone daily can be a conclusive gift.

This stranger taught me a lot, how easy it is to be rich from within! .Beautiful clothes, lots of money in the bank account, expensive gadgets, accessories & luxuries or even good educational degrees, may or may not make anyone rich and happy; but a small act of giving is enough to make us feel rich & happy every day.

So the lesson here is to start giving something one has accumulated in their life journey like knowledge, wealth,  happiness, joy & smiles with others in whatever dosages one can give to others.
