Today morning while sipping my cup of tea I watched a tiny sparrow in my compound. It entered through the gap beneath the gate and hopped to the end of compound to pick the straws from the broom. Then it flew to the window sill of the flat opposite to ours. Once securing the straw there it returned back and carried on with the same work. It must have travelled at least 50-60 times both ways in five minutes. But it didn't look a bit tired nor it got frustrated with the work. Isn't it amazing?
We humans on the other hand get irritated even if we have to do the same job twice. Sometimes I feel frustrated to work in kitchen and wonder if we had some magic wand with a whip of which we could have whatever we wanted. The same thing happened when I was working. Has this happened with you? Ever felt irritated or frustrated!
I feel the only person who does not are the toddlers. They will go on till the end of the day or till they get tired. Where did the strength vanish as they grow, I wonder!

We need to take some lessons from the birds. They never complain, just do what needs to be done.
