Stories are a dominant medium to teach and learn. Whenever we tell a story to kids, the last question is always, ‘What is the moral of the story?’ Most stories teach important lessons and we have been hearing many simple stories since childhood which appear to have no deep moral and just some straightforward values. Or do they?
The stories selected in this book are age old stories which I had heard during my childhood. I took some stories from Aesop's Fables and the others from Panchatantra. Authors of some of these stories are unknown.
The first thing I decided to abide by, even before starting to write a book, was to keep it short. So, this small book delves into such small simple stories and dig out some valuable lessons.
This book doesn’t follow any sequence. You can start anywhere. These are just thoughts of a simple layman so; there are no life changing secrets here either. However, the tips on time management, leadership, and happiness that I have derived from these stories may help you to rethink about your life path. Hope you find the maiden book in the Layman Series interesting.
Inspiring, Impactful, didactic and informative, LAYMAN LESSONS FROM SIMPLE TALES AND FABLES is a work that every adult should read.
It transcends all fields of life. Although an analogy of the tales and fables of the past, it is educative in modern living, almost in all spheres of life.
Dilip Kumar, in my view has used creative writing, although a nonfiction work, in giving the world a classic motivational book.
