The Power of Positive Thoughts!
Compassion is a virtue one should possess. It will keep us and also the people around us happy.
Always remember to give positive thoughts to people; tell them you stand by them. This could be the least we can do as it will give them the strength to approach difficulties in life with confidence.
And even if nothing, just listen to them.

Value: Love
Sub-Value: Compassion, Kindness
On one Saturday morning, a little boy returned from the school and told his father, “My teacher has given us home-work to Hug ten people and tell them- Be patient, trust life, and I love you.”
The dad said, “OK, we will go to the mall tomorrow morning and do it.”
The next morning, the child woke up excitedly, got ready, went to his dad, and said , “let’s go!!”
The father said, “There is heavy rainfall, I fear nobody might be there”. The child still insisted. So, the father drove in the horrible rainy weather to the mall.
They stood in the mall for one hour, and the little boy hugged nine people. His father then said , “Now let’s go, it’s raining heavily, and we shouldn’t get stuck!”
Although feeling sad, the son went along with his father’s orders. As they were driving past, the child pointed at a random house, and said, “Please dad, just one person is remaining. I will go to that house and complete my homework.”
The father smiled and pulled the car over.
The child went to the door and began to ring the bell and pounded the door strongly with his knuckles. He kept waiting. Finally, the door opened gently.
A lady came out with a very sad look and gently asked, “What can I do for you, son?”
With radiant eyes and a bright smile the child said, “Ma’am my teacher has told to Hug 10 people, and tell them – Be patient, trust life and I Love you.”
” I have hugged nine people. May I hug you and pass the message to you?” answered the child.
The lady embraced him, and started crying profusely.
On seeing that the boy’s father came out of the car. He went to the lady and asked , “Any problem madam?”
She composed herself, took them inside, gave them a cup of tea and then told his father, “My husband died a while ago leaving me totally alone in this world. This morning the loneliness took over me. Since morning, I have been thinking that this is the end of the road for me.”
“….Then I took a chair and a rope to my bedroom and decided to end my life. As I was seeing the world for one last time, I begged God for forgiveness, and then, heard this knock. I thought to leave it. But then nobody comes to visit me.”
She continued, “When I opened the door, I couldn’t believe when my eyes saw this little child. And when he said, “Be patient, trust life and I Love you. I knew it was a message from God. Suddenly I realized I don’t want to die anymore, and have decided to make something productive of my life.”
