RESPECT THE "NO"

Once, a bird searched for a home to lay her eggs and shelter in the rainy season.
In her search, she saw two trees, and she went to ask for protection.

When she asked the first tree, it refused to give her shelter. With disappointment, she went to the second. And the second tree agreed.

She made her home and laid her eggs, and then the rainy season arrived.
The rain was so heavy that the first tree fell and was carried away by the flood.

The bird saw this and, in a taunting way, said: ”See, this is your karma, you didn’t offer me shelter, and now God has given you the punishment.”

The tree smiled for the last time and said :”I knew I’m not going to survive this rainy season. That’s why I refused you. I didn’t want to risk your and your children’s lives.“

The bird had tears as *she now knew why she and the kids were alive !*

# Learning :

#1. _We should not always consider someone’s "NO" as their arrogance_

#2. _You don’t know the whole picture._

#3. _Respect others' decision whether it is in your favor or not._

#5. _We get so involved in our problems that we forget to view the other person’s point._

#5. _Without even trying to understand the motive, we make our judgments._

#6. _We should never judge others by their “No” because we don’t know their story._

#7. _You don’t know what good is hidden for you behind it._

*Always RESPECT THE "NO."*
*Pause, and think about it deeply before you pass any judgments about it in your mind*.

*Science Behind Why Grandma Was Right in Soaking Mangoes Before Eating*

1. Getting rid of phytic acid:
According to nutritionists, mangoes contain a natural molecule known as phytic acid which is seen in several fruits, vegetables and even nuts. So, when mangoes are soaked in water for a few hours, it helps in removing the excess phytic acid that generates heat in the body.

2. Avoiding diseases:
The practice also helps in preventing several skin issues like acne, pimples and also other health issues like headaches, constipation and other gut-related issues.

3. Washing away chemicals.

4. Keeping it cool:
Mangoes also raise the temperature of the body resulting in the production of thermogenesis. Therefore, soaking mangoes in water for a while would help in reducing their thermogenic property.

5. Busting fat:
Mangoes have a lot of phytochemicals. Therefore soaking them reduces their concentration, making them act as ‘natural fat busters’.
