Doubts of Soldiers



Once upon a time, A battle was going on in Japan. One army was greatly outnumbered by enemy army men.


General of the army with a small number of soldiers was confident that they could win that battle and decided to launch an attack. He called upon his lieutenant and asked him to prepare soldiers for the next battle.


Lieutenant called all the soldiers and announced the decision of the General. Army men were ready to battle but they were filled with doubt knowing that they had been outnumbered by other army men.


As commanded by the General, Next day Lieutenant and all soldiers were all prepared to launch an attack on the enemy. General knew about the doubts of soldiers. So on their way to battle the General made a stop at a religious shrine.


After everyone prayed, the General stood in front of all army men with a coin in his hand and said, “I shall now toss this coin. If it is heads, we shall win. If tails, we shall lose. Destiny will now reveal itself.”


As the general threw the coin into the air, all watched intently as it landed on the ground. It was heads.


Soldiers were overjoyed and were filled with confidence. They continued their way to battle. On the battle ground they vigorously attacked the enemy. In the end they won the battle.


After the battle, the Lieutenant congratulated the General and remarked, “We won.. No one can change destiny..”


“Quite right..!!”, the General replied as he showed the lieutenant the coin, which had heads on both sides.


Moral: If you question yourself and your Abilities then you are holding yourself back from Happiness and Success. Having Confidence and Encouragement can lead to more Positive results Rather than doing any Task keeping Doubts in Mind.

Mud: Tennessee Ghost Story

  Tennessee ghost story of a killer who encounters a strange old man along a dark road after burying his victim. What does this old man know about his crime? Find out in this short story by Andy Hinton. Although the walk should have been easier without the load, the adrenaline and whisky that had fuelled Jason earlier in the night is exhausted, and what energy remains is being used to shiver himself warm. As a result, it takes him half an hour to get back to the car. But time is relative, for what is half an hour in a night that never ends. Jason leans the shovel against the trunk and reaches into his right pocket for the keys; finding none, he goes to his left pocket and digs deeper. Then he runs both hands through all his pockets and rechecks them again. “Damn it.” Jason kicks the car, but the sound is muffled by the storm. He is angry enough, cold and worn out enough, to break a window, but he knows he needs the keys to drive home if he is ever to be done with this dreadful...

Mama Coon Coon: A Louisiana Swamp Folktale

  Now I’ll just bet that none of you have ever heard the story of Mama Coon Coon and the blue waters of the bayou, have you? Well, we know the story, and I think we need to tell it to you right now. Once upon a time, the waters of the bayou were black – as black as ink. Now, even though these waters were black, they were still filled with lots and lots of fishes, shrimp and crab. And all of the fishermen would wake up early in the morning, long before the sun had even come above the horizon, and they would cast their nets down into the deep, black water. And what a wonderful sight it was at the end of the day to watch those fishermen pulling in their nets overflowing with all kinds of fishes, shrimp and crab. Dulac Louisiana Bayou by  Clem .

You see, that is the name the local village children gav...

Ibo Landing

  Near the mouth of Dunbar Creek on Georgia’s St Simons Island, there’s a section of swampy marshland known as “Ibo Landing” where some fishermen refuse to cast their lines. In the daytime, it doesn’t look any different from the other vast marshes stretching across Georgia’s coastal islands. Elongated white herons call to one another over the endless plain of reeds and mosquito infested marsh grasses. Fiddler crabs scurry across the sands. Unseen creatures plop into the black waters. St Simons Island, Georgia near Ibo Landing But when night falls, it is said that one can hear a different sound entirely. Swamps are known to make strange sounds at night. But if you listen closely, you may hear what sounds like the faint rattling of chains drifting across the marsh, followed by an eerie chant: “The water brought us the water will take us away.” If you think your ears are deceiving you, think again. For the old timers in the area will tell you what you’re hearing is the brave warrior O...
