Does Everything Happen For Good?

Motivation is something which can make you perform any task. Either it can make your life or can destroy your life completely.Sometimes it becomes very difficult to judge that something which has happened, happened for good or bad. There are a lot of sayings on motivation like:

"For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else."

"Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success."

"Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up."

We all have been through many stories in our life which tell us about the importance and the value of motivation. One of my freinds failed in 1st semester exam in all subjects but his family supported him and motivated him for his best. Next year he was the topper of the class. I don't say that it was only the motivation but also the hard work he put for the best results. So he was very happy and he expressed his gratitude to god for the last year failure.He was accusing god for the same failure a year ago and now he is thanking god for the same. We people really don't know the incidents happened in our life is for good or bad.
A year ago i read an interesting story which i want to share with you guys.

Good or Bad


Once long ago, there was an old man and his young son lived in a village. They had two horses, and they earn money by renting them. The people of the village always say that the old man is mad and he talks for no reason. One day in the morning there were no horses in the stable, they ran into the nearby jungle. People of the village said, "it happened very bad" but the old man replied, "who knows it happened good or bad". People said, "the old man is mad" and there is no benefit arguing him.

The four days passed and the two horses came back with four wild horses. People said, "it really happened good". Though the old man was happy but repeated the same words "who knows it happened good or bad". After some days one of  the wild horses broke leg of his son. Again the people behaved according to situation "very bad".Old man again on his words "who knows whatever happened is good or bad". People said, "old man is mad".

After few days the king of their state had war between them and their neighbour kingdom. And there was a shorten of troops in their state so the king ordered every young man to participate in the war. Every young man had to participate in the war without any choice. but the son of old man left at home due to he has a broken leg so wouldn't be able to fight in the war. All the people were unhappy for their relatives had to participate in the war. And there were no guarantee for their lives. People said it happened really bad for us but good for the old man that his son is left behind due to broken leg. Old man replied as expected "who knows it happened good or bad". Soon the war got finished and fortunately nobody from their kingdom had to lose any relative in the war. Now the king decided to give gold coins for those who participated in the war. People said, "it happened very good" and old man said, "who knows it happened for good or bad"......................

Good or bad is just a way of thinking and it's you who develop your own thinking. Some believe in god some don't, some believe in positive and negative energy. It is purely in our mind and thinking.
