1- A Story About The Encouraging Word

Sir Isaac Newton as a child

Parents sat with their children in the primary schoolyard at the annual ceremony to distribute prizes to the outstanding pupils. The headmaster gave a speech on this occasion, and then he started calling out to the student, then the student and his parents would stand between the applause of the attendees, then the three go to the stage to shake hands with the headmaster and receive the certificate.

When the headmaster finished reciting the names of the top students, he called for the name of Isaac Newton, and no one stood at first. Newton didn't believe his ears and didn't imagine that he would obtain a special certificate, especially since he was the only student who failed in all subjects.

The headmaster called for the student again and asked him to come to the stage. The kid walked stumbling to the stage, and the headmaster shook his hand warmly and handed him the certificate. Then the headmaster said: this student had failed in all subjects, and yet he is an excellent student, he is the greatest and most polite of the school’s students, I am very proud that this student is in my school, every day he used to give an example to his colleagues in good manners and I think that despite his failure this year in all subjects, he is going to succeed excellently in the next year because a student like this will be able to overcome failure and turn it into success.

Then everyone stood up to applaud with admiration for the headmaster's interest even in the failed pupils and encouraging them to succeed. Indeed, thanks to this kind and encouraging speech, this headmaster contributed in changing the student who failed in all subjects to become one of the greatest scientists of the 18th century in physics and mathematics and discovered the law of universal gravitation and laws of motion.

This is a realistic story that shows the morals and inspiration of a positive attitude that lifts a person from the bottom of failure to the top of success. In addition, the story shows the effect of kind words that make a person open closed doors and take his hand to get him out of the bottom of despair and give him hope for a better life.

2- A Story About The Kind Word

One day the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy was coming down from his house and on his way, he met a poor young man who used to take help from him and when Tolstoy put his hand in his pocket, he didn't find his money bag, so he smiled at the man and said to him: excuse me, brother, I forgot my money bag at home. The man said: Believe me sir you gave me more than all people gave me when you told me, brother.

My dear reader,
The people around us are in dire need of a kind word. For some people, the kind word is greater than the treasures of the entire world because of its profound positive impact on them.

Do you know that
In an Indian myth, the goddess of power was asked "You are more violent than the wind and stronger than the waves. Is there anything stronger than you?" The Goddess of Strength replied: The kind words are stronger than me.

The kind word is your way to people's hearts.

4- Overcome Evil With Good

There was a problem for the sheep breeder because of his neighbor's dogs that were chasing and killing his sheep, and when this went on for a long time, the shepherd decided to take action, so what would his reaction be from your point of view?

Maybe he can sue, and he will certainly have the right to put down his neighbor's dogs when they enter his property, and he could build a bigger and better fence. But he didn’t choose any of these options because he had a better idea, he gave a sheep to each neighbor, and after a short time all the neighbors owned a small herd of sheep, and they started to tie their dogs, and so the problem of killing sheep passed and solved peacefully.

5- Story Regarding Positive Attitude

This is a true story that happened in one of the metro stations in Egypt. There was a college student who rode the metro to go to university. The young man sat in one of the seats and took a book out of his bag to read in.

The student was reading the book, and a skinny man of sixty years of age came and put his hand on the young man's shoulder and said to him: take rusks! The student replied: Thank you, uncle. After that, the man gave rusks to all the people in the metro; some of them took from him and others thanked him for his generosity.

The student continued reading, but the image of the man did not leave his mind. How could a simple man like him, wearing shabby clothes and torn boots, a man who looks tired and exhausted, and it was very clear that he was a poor man. How could a man in his circumstances and condition ask people to eat with him.

Some time passed and a young child about 15 years old, entered the metro to sell newspapers. The child said in a loud voice: Read the latest news, but no one bought from him. Before he got off the metro, the poor man who was distributing rusks called him and said to him:

I want a newspaper with the latest news about the Egyptian League.

Child: This newspaper contains the league ranking and news of players and clubs.

Man: How much does the newspaper cost?

Child: Only three pounds.

The poor man took out three pounds and gave them to the child. After the child got off the metro station, the man asked the student: What is written in this picture?

The student was very surprised and asked him: You don't know how to read!

Man: Unfortunately, I can't read or write.

The student: Why did you buy the newspaper when you can't read?

Man: Because the child was going around selling newspapers in this cold weather and no one bought from him, so I bought a newspaper from him to support him and make him happy.

This is the story of a simple man who feels compassion and pity for others despite the cruelty of days on him. A man who has great inner peace despite the disturbing circumstances around him.

6- No More Conflict From Today

One of the lawyers was a strange man in the eyes of many, and one day he bought a piece of land that had legal problems. When the lawyer received the land, he said to the disputant: What is your request about the limits of the land? He replied: Your current limit is located in my land at a distance of two feet on one side and a foot on the other side. The lawyer said: Move it on my land to a distance of four feet on one side and two feet from the other side.

The neighbor said: But this is twice the money! The lawyer replied: I don't care, there have been enough disputes on this land and I want you to take enough to make the neighborly relationships good. The neighbor was silent for a moment because he was ready to quarrel, but the lawyer didn't give him a chance to do so! Therefore, he said: Sir, I won't move the limit from its place, because my disputes were not about land, but about principle.

The whole world does not fit two people who hate each other, but a small nest can fit two lovers.

William Penn's father was a general in the English navy and one of the most important leaders in the British army. He was famous for his impressive victories in many battles. One day, his son William joined a group that called themselves peace lovers and refused to fight; his father accused him of cowardice and then accused him of insanity. William began preaching the hatred of war and the love of peace, people despised and mistreated him, and he was arrested because of this behavior and was kept in prison. In prison, he showed that he was ready to suffer and not to make others suffer, and he was able to stand bravely in front of the war supporters, and then his father saw the truth in him and saw that if he is a war hero, his son is the hero of peace.

After that, William Penn established the great state of Pennsylvania, and the state was inhabited by Native Americans, whom the white supremacist called savages. They waged a war against the Native Americans to expel them from their country, and there were many battles and deaths on both sides.

When William came to the state, he didn't ask for guards or troops, but came himself and announced to the American Indians that he had come to them as a friend and a brother.
