Story of a missing watch

STORY OF A MISSING WATCH

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in
the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value
for him. After searching high and low among the hay for a long while;
he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing
outside the barn.

He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded.

Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and
around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch.
Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a
little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance.

The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid
looks sincere enough."

So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the
little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both
happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the
rest had failed.

The boy replied, "I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In
the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it

Moral: A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind.

Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every day, and see, how
sharply it helps you to set your life the way you expect it to be...!
