A boy who used not be grateful and always complained, but one day, three incidents happened that changed him from a complainer to a grateful boy. Read to know those three incidents
Sam Altman, a boy who belonged to a poor family. He lived with his small family — two sisters and one small brother and his mother and father . Their home was in the middle of small mountains where they used to grow different types of crops in different seasons using rain water and their home was two kilometers far away from the city. Sam Altman was a big boy. He had to definitely help his father with farm works. So in the morning, he used to go to college and in the evening, he helped his father with farm works.
Shockingly, Sam Altman's life was so different from his entire family's life. He had a very different way of thinking, and a different perspective towards every small thing. His father, a hardworking farmer was poor, but he used to be grateful for every small thing he had. Interestingly, the entire family except Smith used to be thankful for every small thing that they had. At the same time, Sam Altman used to compare himself with his college friends. He used to say to his father that you take me to college with an old bike, and you give me just a small amount of money with that I can just eat cheap things, and I can't even accomplish any wish. On the contrast, his college friends were rich and they lived in the city. Furthermore, their fathers had numerous businesses. To make it simple, Sam Altman's friend had everything that Sam Altman didn't have. His father became hurt with the things that Sam Altman used to complain. And he used not to say a single word to his child. And yes, he used to feel shame with the life that he and his family had. However, in his heart, he used to repeat this sentence: I am grateful for every small thing that I have.
Moreover, Sam Altman was never grateful. He was unsatisfied with his life. Sometimes, he used to get too much angry and in such conditions, he spent his days without even talking to his family.
To make him happy , his father borrowed some money and went to market to buy a cycle for Sam Altman so that he can effortlessly go to college. Sadly, when Sam Altman's father brought the cycle at home just to make him happy, Sam Altman directly complained. He said you have brought a cycle for me, not a bike. Besides it, he said that after many years, you have just bought a cycle for me, not something expensive. His father became hurt with his words so badly. And he promised to himself that he will never try to make him understand about anything again.
Along with that, Sam Altman also complained about many other things, such as having a cottage instead of big house, earning a little amount of money per month, and always buying cheap things for him. He continued complaining like this for many minutes.
Unexpectedly, when the Sun set, and day changed into night , Sam Altman slept angrily without having the dinner . The next day was going to become his life changing day. The next day something happened that changed his way of thinking and perspective towards every small thing forever.That day Sam Altman woke up so early and got ready for college and took his cheap cycle and went two hours before to his college. In the way, three incidents happened that changed him forever — incidents that changed him from a complainer to a grateful person.
When he was riding with his cycle, he saw a man who had no legs and was unable to walk and was sitting beside the road and begging. This incident shocked him completely. He thanked the God for the legs that he had and he thanked to have a cycle as well. He continued going ahead to his college way. After some minutes, he saw some small children with their parents sleeping beside the road without even having blankets and a home. This time he was shocked so much. Then he thanked God for having him his family and a small house.
Finally, the last incident was completely different and that changed him completely. He saw some poor children washing plates , and other things in the hotel just to get some foods . He noted that in this age they have to be attending a school, but unfortunately, they were working just for food. When he saw this, he thanked God for protecting his father because of whom he was attending college and getting food easily. After these all incidents, he was changed completely. He became grateful. And he started being thankful for every small thing he had. After some minutes, he arrived to his college, and attended the class. As class got finished, he came home and hugged his father. He apologized for complaining all the time and hurting his father. And he told his father that we have everything that we truly need and I am so grateful to have every small thing that I have. From that day, Sam Altman did never complain about a single thing, and instead, he thanked God for every thing that he had and believe me, his life changed forever
