Life can be full of unexpected things,either happy or sad.But no matters what happens...Just keep a loving heart,a wise mind and a strong faith in god.Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize that they were the big things.


The story starts with a life of a young man wanted to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man on the earth. The lad wandered through the desert, mountains, and plains to find the wisest man in the land. He finally reached a beautiful castle at the top of the mountain. The wise man conversed with everyone, and the young man had to wait for several hours to meet the wise man. The wise man listened attentively to the young man’s curiosity to know about the secret of happiness.


The wise man replied that he didn’t have time to explain the secret of happiness at that moment. But, he suggested the young man to have look around his castle and its beauty and uniqueness and return in two hours. He also assigned a task to the man. He handed over a teaspoon to the man which had two drops of oil. The wise man said to the young lad not to spill oil.


The Young man began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the room where the wise man noticed and said him to visit the mountains around the castle and the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time more conscious about the surroundings and observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls.


He saw the gardens, the mountains all around him and the beauty of the flowers. Upon returning to the wise man, he explained in detail everything he had seen.”But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you?” asked the wise man. Looking down the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.


”Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you, “said the wisest man.“The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”We have all the right to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of the world, but we need to fulfill our duty as well.
