STRESSED KAAJAL AND COOL KEEKAR
Kaajal and Keekar were two friends who studied in the same school, same grade and same division. They looked alike too. But oh! What a difference there was in their nature! While Kaajal was always stressed, Keekar invariably seemed cool and joyous. Even if the two classmates faced the same situation or problem, the difference in their nature remained unchanged. Like the other day, Kaajal and Keekar both forgot that the history teacher had said last week that she would be testing the class on some chapters.
Both were unprepared. Yet Keekar remained calm while Kaajal was in tears and made quite a spectacle of herself in class. However, that evening, it dawned on Kaajal that she should find out how or why Keekar remained calm while she went to pieces in stressful situations. She began to observe Keekar keenly. Over a period of time, Kaajal learnt his secret stress buster! Yes, “Helping Others!” She started doing the same and began to experience a lot of joy. Now she goes around telling others, “Get involved in an activity that helps others. It's almost impossible to feel stressed out when you're helping someone else. It's also a great way to find out about yourself and the special qualities you never knew you had! Signing up for a service project is a good idea, but helping others is as easy as saying hello, holding a door, or volunteering to keep a neighbour’s pet.”Wonder if you have met her? If you do, you will find her very cheerful. Quite unlike the Kajaal you read about in the beginning!
Moral: The feeling you will get from helping others is greater than you can imagine!”
