"A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call ASAP, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father walking around the hall, anxiously waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him, the dad yelled:
"Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have the sense of responsibility?"
The doctor smiled and said:
"I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and I came here as fast as I could after receiving the call...... And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work"
"Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??" said the father angrily.
The doctor smiled again and replied: "I will say what Job said in the Holy Book "From dust we came and to dust shall we all return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God's grace"
"Giving advises when we're not concerned is so easy" Murmured the father.
(The doctor entered the operating theatre and started the surgery)
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor came out happy,
"Thank God!, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply he left the hospital in a hurry. "If you have any question, ask the nurse!!"
"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I can ask him about my son's state" Commented the father when he saw the nurse some minutes after the doctor left.
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."
The man fell on his kneels weeping, "Be strong" said the nurse, "you are a man."
The man replied "yes I am a man but a fake", "the real one just left."
(A moment of sober reflection)
Be good to everyone you come in contact with. Never be judgmental and offer a helping hand to someone in need today.
Remember this; whatever you give to anyone will definitely come back to you whether positively or negatively.
Also, remember to make a positive impact on someone's life today and as a farmer plants his seed and patiently waits for its germination, so shall your seed of greatness spring forth into a bountiful harvest...
Have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
