003---------------------------------When I was a student,I heard my teacher in Sanskrit reciting a (sloka) hymn .It was so effective and powerful that its impact has been seen and observed by me throughout the days spent till date.Though exactly the words recited are still beyond my memory but I am trying to find them out for bringing out before .The meaning was,'' There was a shepherd,he went to forest along with 50 sheep for grazing .After he was tired,he sat on the mound ,suddenly his eyes caught some thing shining.He felt that it was a shining stone.He took his stick and started digging and making the strokes on it .It was broken and many pieces fell hither to thither,but of no use to the shepherd.Out of curiosity,he took one piece and through the hole he(pierced ) took the string and let it hung around the neck of the very old and diseased sheep.Suddenly,A jeweler was going that way ,he found that it was a diamond around the neck of the sheep,he wanted to buy it.After the discussion was over,the shepherd felt that it was the right time for him to sell his old sheep.He demanded 10 paisa for that.Willingly the Jeweler paid and snatched the diamond."After it was witnessed by the shepherd ,he laughed that he took his sheep with himself and for a stone he got so much money. --------At this the diamond shed its tears and spoke,'' Alright,That shepherd was a fool and he did not know what did he do ?but the jeweler ''underestimated me and it was a matter of sorrow to me.''This was a very striking story that gives this message-----------------------------------------?The people at large do not take interest in others.It is  their nature.Even if they see the shining star emerging ,the pushing forces work and make it difficult to emerge.Most of the talents go unhunted. Hence,one has to learn from the flowing water which makes it own way and whenever obstacles and hindrances come,it waits to overcome otherwise it makes a way.So is the case with ourselves,If none sees talents in us and help provide a platform to  grow,everyone is to shine like a diamond------through his own efforts ------------Godfather or beacon is luckily destined to only a few.
