CREATE HISTORY OR BE ONE!!

Friends, I recollected a very nice story which I heard in childhood and thought will share with my network as it finds much more relevance today than ever before.

Once upon a time there was a big fire in the jungle. All the animals forgot their past differences and enmity and decided to come together to save their livelihood and future generations. An elephant took the lead, went to the nearby river and used his capacity to hold massive amount of water in his trunk and started dousing the fire. All the other animals followed suit and took as much water they can in their hands, mouth, etc and joined the elephant in dousing the fire. A little sparrow also tried to hold little amount of water in its beak and started sprinkling on top of the fire. Looking at this, an annoyed elephant told the sparrow to stop coming in the way and stay aside, as his efforts will not make much difference. At this the sparrow replied: “I know that my efforts might be insignificant in front of this massive challenge, however when history is written I want to be on the side which doused the fire and not the one who spread it!!”

Let’s join the efforts in containing the spread of Covid-19 and adhere to all the guidelines laid out by government officials and medical professionals in this fight. We owe a healthier, happier and prosperous planet to the future generations.

Let’s create history!!
