uddha. While he was leading it home, four thieves saw him and made up their minds to steal the sheep. They knew him to be an honest person and one who thought of no more harm in others than he had in himself. They dared not take the sheep away from him by force, for they were too near the city. Therefore, they thought hard and got an idea: they first parted company and then came to the man as if they had come from several distinct parts.

The first thief came up to the farm and said, “My good old man, why are you leading this dog？”

At this moment the second thief, coming from another direction, cried to him, “Poor old man, where have you stolen this dog？”And immediately after these words, the third thief came up and asked the farmer,“Where are you going with this handsome greyhound？”

The poor farmer began to doubt whether the sheep was a sheep or not. But the fourth robber put him quite beside himself by coming near him and asking what the dog cost him.

The farmer began to think and got the conclusion that the four men, who came from different directions, could not all be wrong. He believed that the sheep he was leading was a dog. On realizing this, the farmer went back quickly to the market to demand his money from the person who sold him the dog, leaving the dog with the four thieves.

I will never forget what my old headmaster had taught me.Normally when you are only 15 years of age you do not remember most of the things that are preached by your teachers.But,this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget.Every time I drift off course,I get reminded of this story.

It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly,and he was addressing the students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what was important to us.This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London,and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway.He would take the train right to Central London,and then sit at the street corner and beg.He did this every single day for almost 20 years.

His house was filthy,and a horrible smell came out of it.The neighbors could not stand the smell any longer,so they summoned the police officers to clear the place.The officers knocked down the door,cleaned the house and found small bags of money all over the house.When they counted the money,they realized that the old man was a millionaire.

They waited outside his house in anticipation to share the good news with him.When he arrived home that evening,the old man was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was now a millionaire. The old man said nothing at all.He went into his house and locked the door.The next morning he woke up as usual,went to the subway,got into the train,and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.Obviously,this old man had no great plans,dreams or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

We should remain true to our course,which may mean committing ourselves to things that people around us would normally disapprove.Let nothing distract us from being happy;let nothing else determine our fate,but ourselves.What makes us happy is what matters in the end,not what we acquire.
