I have heard that when the war was going on between America and Japan, the Admiral of America was camping at the sea. He sent all his soldiers to fight against Japanese Army. He was alone in the ship. Some journalists reached there and asked him, “Mr. Admiral! You are sitting here tension free while you have sent your all soldiers to fight." What the Admiral replied is to be followed. He said, “I am at ease and relaxed. What else will I be doing except to be at ease and enjoying rest when my all soldiers are at battle field." The correspondents were surprised and asked, "Then you are not worried any way about your soldiers." He said No and added that he had given the better training of war to his soldiers he ever knew and had armed his soldiers with highly sophisticated weapons available with him. He said that he had done whatever he could do and he believed that his soldiers would not prove wrong. Therefore, he was sitting overjoyed and relaxed in his ship.

Luck favours thirty percent while our trial favours seventy percent. We should care for the future of our children, we should take care of them so properly that they can feel proud of us and we can also feel proud of them. When the children think of us they should feel high sentiments of our care and begin telling that their mother was not only their mother but also their guide and friend too. Your son should keep on appreciating you for the role of father and friend played by you. Play such a great role that they should feel proud of you and should eulogise your greatness.
