[Music] once there lived a great king who was renowned for his wisdom and intelligence as the king got old the thought of retiring came to the king's mind he spread the word across the kingdom that he was soon to appoint a new successor for his kingdom the news of the search for a new successor caused a great steering across the kingdom the king was considered to be the wisest to have come to the power his clever policies had helped to build a just and content nation over the course of his ruling the king had no son therefore the king wanted to make any deserving young man the king from among the people of his nation the king called the youth of the nation together and gathered them in the royal hall the king gave each of them a seed and said this is a very special seed i want all of you to plant it take care of it and come back after a year with what you have based on what you bring back i will decide the next king of the country everyone left from there with the seed they excitedly plant their seed and waited for it to grow as the months passed by the youth of the country were talking about how their plant has grown tremendously beautiful among all the youth there was a young man whose seed had not even sprouted although he used to water the seed every day and did everything to make it grow but the seed did not even sprout he could hear people talking about their plants but still he had nothing a year passed from the day the seed was distributed all the youth was summoned to the palace where they were to display the outcome of their seeds the young man who she did not grow as others was very reluctant to even attend the gathering but his mother insisted him to go to the palace with what he had because his efforts had been true and there was no shame in showing that the young man went to the palace with his empty pot of soil in the gathering he was amazed to see the variety of the beautiful plants others had grown the young man put his empty pot on the floor while a number of the others people were laughing at him as he did so the young man was embarrassed to be there when the king arrived in the hall and inspected each and every pot he slowly examined all of the different plants and looked at the young men that accompanied them the young man with empty pot was hiding in the back trying to go unseen but the king found him and gave pause when he did walking over he eyed the young man and his plant closely but he said nothing he ordered his guards to bring the young man to the front of the court the young man was very sad as the king had noticed his utter failure to grow a seed arriving at the front the guards let go of him leaving him standing alone before all of the others many of whom were laughing at him the king called the young man closer he held his hand and raised it and said loudly behold everyone this is your new king then king said one year ago i gave everyone a seed i instructed you to take the seed plant it water it and bring it back but what you are unaware of was that every seed i handed out had been boiled beforehand so that none of them were fit to grow and all of you after a year have brought me trees plants and flowers grown of your dishonesty the seeds which grew these plants were not the ones which i provided you and look at this man he is the only honest person among all of you who has not replaced his seed and that's why he deserves to be your ruler if we see in our lives then we will find that honesty is very important in our life however being honest is very difficult in today's world but once we practice it we will have peace of mind and we will not be stressed unnecessarily once we are honest we will not be afraid of anything as we know that we have not done anything wrong an honest person will get himself disciplined he knows what to do and what not to do by seeing the behavior of an honest person people will trust him he will be respected by other people furthermore a person who is not honest may feel the pressure and may also feel tensed for his faults but an honest person will not have any such problems and he will maintain good health an honest person will never get involved in cheating others so he will have more friends and well wishers there is a very famous quote said by warren buffet that honesty is a very expensive gift don't expect it from cheap people being honest does not only mean to be honest to you work or job but being honest also mean to be honest with your family to be honest with your friends to be honest to yourself a dishonest person may get success soon but his success does not last long while an honest person may get success little late party success will last long therefore no matter what area of life never give up on honesty [Music] you
