How to turn disabilities in to life successes?
Once upon a time, Raju was studying in a gurukulam (traditional school).
Raju's legs were a little longer than usual.
Because of this, his classmates used to call him "long-legged fellow
He used to cry often hearing this.
One day, crying, he ran away to a neighboring country.
He spent a few years there doing small jobs.
One day, as Raju was walking past the palace, a street dog came to bite him.
At that moment, Raju's long legs became a blessing for him. When he ran very fast, the dog was defeated and gave up.
At this time, the king was resting on the upper floor of the palace.
He was astonished looking at Raju's lightning-fast legs.
Immediately, he called Raju. The king decided to give the clever boy a job.
The king appointed him to the job of a postal runner who runs quickly with bundles of letters.
Raju felt proud looking at how his long legs, which once seemed like a curse, had become a blessing.
With the good fortune of that high-paying job, Raju gained a good house and a family.
Idea/Moral: There can be many situations in life where even one's own shortcomings turn into blessings. Instead of seeing weaknesses as curses, turn them into advantages.
