    Are you eager to know the true value of time ?  Do you want to inculcate in yourself the respect for time ? Knowing the value of time will surely help you to reach your highest potential. This short story will help you understand the true value of time and will unlock your activeness .


Once a man took his family to a beach to enjoy vacations. The endless sea , bright sunlight and a little clique of people around. The trip of surely a great fun for every member of family.  Children started to play and splash water on each other as soon as they reach the seashore. The man and his wife were relaxing their tired muscles lying on a chair and watching their children play.

The children after playing sometime in the water now decided to make a sand castle. Both the children of that man started to make a castle out of sand while the man kept watching them. As soon as his children finished making the castle a tide from the sea thrashed both the castles.  The younger child was so disappointed that he started to cry while the elder one started reconstructing the castl
e. After sometime the castle was ready again.



The man then approached his younger child and said, " Stop crying my dear , look at the castle that your elder made while you were crying. You see in life many of us keep crying on  things we lost in past instead of gaining them again. My child if you too have focused on rebuilding the castle you might too have built a castle but you wasted your time in crying remember my child time is the most valuable thing and it's always your choice that 'what you to do in the given time' either cry or build a new and better castle." The man's word taught the child a precious teaching of his life.
