Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.

He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.

When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

MORAL OF THE STORY: All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet depends on your face.

Mr Manoj, thanks for the referral. Very true indeed. Some one had once told me "Every morning look in the mirror, and decide what face you want to put up today, as the face you put up to others,others will be put up the same to you too".

Bikesh, Really a good question....a good comment.....let me tell you my answer to it....The happy dog should change all the unhappiness in the other dog and to make him to think like the way in which the happy dog thinks....So many thanks to a great thought....

In the same story, if we imagine both the dogs met eachother at any point of time, what do you think the situation would be like??............Will happy dog makes another one happy OR vice-versa?????......I am putting this quesion because in reality if there are majority of unhappy people then it makes us difficult to feel happy.

Facial expressions corresponds to the feelings in your heart and it is just vice versa in the sense that your facial expressions will develop similar feelings in your surroundings# So always be jovial and be positive.

Nice one.. face is the index of mind, what you think in your mind that will be reflected in your face. Similarly any one finds/points out the faults with somebody, the same thing he is having. This is the psychological analysis. What is inside will come out side.

Thanks Mr. Manoj Kumar and Dr. Ali Ahmad for the referral.

SMILE... AND THE WORLD WILL SMILE WITH YOU...
         CRY... AND YOU SHALL CRY ALONE !
A good point shared... What U see on other faces around you, mostly... is what your face depicts at that particular moment.

"HOUSE OF 1000 MIRRORS"is the "tittering fable" , but it quite naturally leaves the message..."what you reflect,get back the same".So first thing in the morning you should be happy and savor your breakfast without fuss and leave your home enjoying all the smile of your better half, kith and kins.
Thanks Mr Rohit for referral otherwise, i would have missed the beautiful fable and Mr Manoj at the "zenith" as usual.
