1- Life Principles Story
That day, he stood in the schoolyard, addressing the students on the first day of the school year. In a firm tone, he said, "Welcome to the first day of school in the new year," and then asked them to raise their cards high in their right hands.
All the children raised their right hands, except for a small child who mistakenly raised his card with his left hand. The teacher, determined to be strict, said to the child through the loudspeaker, "Raise your right hand, you fool!"
The little boy shook with fear, but he didn't respond to the teacher's command. The teacher rushed toward the boy like an arrow, intending to teach him his first lesson in obedience and discipline and to make him an example for all the students.
However, as he approached the child, he was deeply saddened by the look of distress and overwhelming fear on the boy's innocent face. The teacher noticed that the boy's right arm was completely amputated. Tears welled up in the teacher's eyes, and he felt a bitterness and regret that he would never forget.
For the first time, he realized that he needed to learn many things about the principles of human life. From then on, he began to watch his words, thoughts, and actions carefully. He learned a great deal, with his first teacher being the small child whose delicate feelings he had hurt with his harsh words.
From that day forward, the teacher became known for his gentleness, politeness, and encouraging words toward everyone around him. He also became wise and balanced, no longer quick to judge.
My dear brother, be careful with your words and watch what you say. Your words often define your relationships with others. With a word, you can make someone happy, and with a word, you can sadden, anger, or even turn them into an enemy.
A word may slip from your mouth hastily or unintentionally, and you may find yourself trying to mend its effects for months or even years. You might not be able to heal the wound that word inflicted on the person to whom you said it.
Let your words be sweet in the ears of others, for kind words are the safety valve that keeps human relationships peaceful and calm.

During the war, Commander Cromwell discovered an officer's betrayal of his homeland and sentenced him to death by firing squad. The officer's wife begged the commander to pardon him, but he refused and told her that when the church bells ring at six in the morning, her husband would be shot.
The wife went to the church very early, climbed up to the bell tower, and hid next to the bell. The servant, who was blind and deaf, came and grabbed the rope of the bell. The wife put her two hands between the bell tongue and the bell mouth. Instead of the tongue striking the sides of the bell, it struck her hands, crushing them. She endured the pain for five minutes, tears streaming down her cheeks.

A man in a European country had a severe heart attack and asked the nurse to call his only daughter quickly, as she was the only family he had. He also asked the nurse for a pen and paper. The nurse called the daughter, who screamed, "Don’t let him die! I avoided him for the past year, and my last words to him were, I hate you."
Half an hour later, the daughter arrived at the hospital to find that her father had already passed away. She collapsed and asked to see him to say her goodbyes. She advanced toward his bed with teary eyes, severe pain reflected on her sad face. She leaned over his bed, hugged her father, and then her eyes fell on a paper between his fingers on which was written:
"My beloved daughter, I have forgiven you, and I ask you to forgive me too. I know that you love me, and I also love you. Your beloved father."
The daughter embraced the paper and felt a peace and comfort she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
In January 1982, a snowstorm hit America, with temperatures dropping to 30 degrees below zero (-22°F) in the state of Minnesota and 33 degrees below zero (-27.4°F) in the state of Miami. Snow piled on the wings of a Boeing 737 plane flying in Washington, causing the plane to lose its balance and crash. Eventually, the plane plunged into a frozen river.
Only six passengers survived, clinging to the tail of the plane, which remained visible in the middle of the frozen river. A helicopter arrived at the scene of the accident and dropped a rescue rope to one of the six passengers. The man took the rope and gave it to his companion who was next to him.
The rescuer dropped the rope again to the same passenger, but he gave it for the second time to another passenger. Every time the rope was dropped to him, this unknown passenger, who appeared to be around fifty years old, handed it to his companions until the five passengers were rescued. Finally, when the rope was dropped for the sixth time to save him, this brave passenger had disappeared amid the ice.
While the names of the five passengers faded from history, this selfless man became known as The Global Man, celebrated in American newspapers for his bravery and sacrifice.

However, when they introduced the new tiger, Farida became enraged and nearly attacked him. Consequently, they sent the new tiger away and left Farida alone in her enclosure.
But what a surprise! Farida refused to eat for several days, mourning for her sick mate who had been taken from her.
She believed he would never return, thinking he might have died from his severe illness or been killed because he was no longer deemed useful.
Determined to die and join him, she persisted in her hunger strike. Faced with her unwavering refusal to eat, the zoo had no choice but to bring her sick mate back.
Farida greeted him with immense joy, embraced him, and began licking his entire body to clean him as he lay on the ground. Then, she lay down beside him.
This faithful tigress preferred to stay with her ailing mate, whom she had known since her youth, to watch over him, care for him, and nurse him back to health rather than accept the healthy, strong new tiger.
The tigress’s heart was filled with tenderness, compassion, and loyalty toward her sick mate. This wild animal showed more affection and kindness than many human hearts!
When we see the loyalty of an animal, which has neither religion nor creed, it makes us lament the state of humanity.

A
young woman went to the American author Norman Vincent Peale to consult him about a problem, and he agreed to meet her in his office at one o'clock in the afternoon. However, he got a little busy and was a few minutes late. Dissatisfaction was evident on her face in the way she was pursing her lips, and she told him, "You're five minutes late, and I always make sure to be on time."
Norman replied with a smile, "I also always make sure to be on time, and I hope that you will forgive me for this delay, which I couldn't avoid." But she didn’t respond to his smile. Then she explained, with some sternness, that her problem was that whenever a young man proposed to her, after a while, they would break up and start avoiding her.
Norman looked at the girl and discovered that she was broad-minded, had a bright intellect and a gentle personality, as well as being a beautiful girl. Then he said to her, "I think I know what the problem is, and here it is:
"You criticized me because I was five minutes late for our appointment, and you were harsh in scolding me. In addition, you purse your lips strongly, and this indicates that you tend to dominate. Let me tell you that a husband does not like to be controlled by his wife, and that love does not grow and does not last under control and supremacy.
"If you get rid of the anger that shows on your face, you will become more attractive. You must have some kindness and tenderness. Most of all, you have to change yourself and express kindness with a bright smile on your face. Smiling will add charm and attraction to you."
The girl thought about it for a while and then said to Norman that his words contained a lot of truth and that she would try to follow his advice.
Many years passed, and Norman forgot about this girl. Then, in one of the cities, after he gave a lecture, an elegant woman came to him, accompanied by a handsome man and a small child. The woman looked at him, smiling, and introduced herself. She said to him, "I practiced everything that you suggested. You were correct, and my relationship with my husband is very good."
Norman asked her husband, "Are you happy with your wife?"
Her husband said, "There is no creature in existence better than my wife."
Smile—it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.
