Once upon a time, there was a young man, who was always happy and joyful. He was happy because he was surrounded by his near and dear ones. He thought that all loved him since he loved them all. He felt fortunate that he had so many people with whom he could share his joy.

As time passed, he realised that everybody doesn’t think the way he does. Most people are so busy in their own world that they do not have time to think about other’s happiness. This realisatio­n made him feel disappoint­ed and dejected. There were so many relatives around him but no real relations.

As time passed in life, with sheer hard work and efforts, he became popular and famous. What had happened then? The winds of life changed their direction. Suddenly, everyone started responding and associatin­g themselves with him. Noticing this sudden change, he was confused.

He realised that he had not changed as a person, but now that he has become popu- lar, the perception of people towards him had changed too. He was still happy for the reason that whatever the circumstan­ce might be, it has ultimately brought people closer to him.

But, let us not wait for people’s status to change for us to appreciate their presence in our lives. Let us be true to every relationsh­ip we are in and be happy for everyone.
