Mathematician’s Formula for Greatest Profit

Once in a town lived a very greedy rich man. Rich man ordered a big safe and he wanted to fill it with gold and jewels. So, one day he hired a mathematician to find the best way for him to make the greatest profit in everything he did.

Mathematician studied for months before he found the solution.

One night, Mathematician had a big smile on his face. Next day, he went to a rich man's house and said, “I found it..! My calculations are perfect..!”

Rich man didn’t have time to listen to him as he had to leave for a long journey. So he said to the mathematician,”I promise I will pay you double wages when I come back but only if you take charge of my business and put a new formula into practice.”

Mathematician was very excited because of his new formula, he delightedly accepted the proposal.

Months later when the rich man returned, he found that all his possessions had gone. He got furious and went to the mathematician to ask for an explanation. Mathematician calmly told him that he had given away everything to people in need. Rich man couldn’t believe it and was getting mad.

Mathematician explained to the rich man his formula, “I studied for months but every way which I found was always limited as there's a limit to how much one man can do by himself. Then I understood the key was that many people could help us to achieve the aim. So the conclusion was that helping others was the best way to get more and more people to benefit us.”

Rich man was disappointed and furious over the mathematician's act and went out. While he was walking away, several neighbors came to him looking worried about him. All of them were those who were helped by Rich man’s fortune.

They felt grateful to him and offered him to their houses. Over the next few days, Wherever he went he was received with great honor and everyone was willing to help him in whatever way they could.

Now, a rich man can see the results of what a mathematician had calculated. He realized that helping others with some now has given him much, much more.

In this way, he managed to quickly set up flourishing businesses, but this time he followed the brilliant mathematician’s advice. Now he no longer kept his money in safe hands, instead he shared out his fortune among people, whose hearts had converted into safest and grateful.

Moral: Helping Others and Sharing with Others give the Ultimate Happiness and Riches.

McDow Hole – Anatomy Of A Texas Ghost Story

Spooky Texas legend of the McDow Hole, where ghost sightings of pioneer woman Jenny Papworth and her baby have long been reported. Written by Bob Hopkins . I first heard the legendary tale of the Ghost of the McDow Hole in the fifteenth year of my youth. It was near Halloween in October 1975 when a friend related the tale of the ghost that haunts a creek bed in rural Erath County and naturally I believed every word of it in the twilight of an evening spent with friends telling ghost stories. I would again hear the tale over the years while living in North Central Texas. It wasn’t until my chance encounter of meeting an author of the legend in 2002 that my curiosity began to peak and like any good investigator I felt it my duty to dig deeper into the hundred year old tale of pioneer folklore to see how much of the story was true and how much was fabricated. I would discover many similarities in fact and fiction that I believed would leave any reader with the same curiosity t...

Tsali: North Carolina Cherokee Ghost Story

The year was 1838. As the first rays of early morning light crept through the dark and misty mountain valley, Tsali gazed out of his tiny cave with a heavy heart. As a young boy, he spent days running though the thick woods and scampering up the steep, rocky hillsides that surrounded his Cherokee village in western North Carolina. The mountains were his place of escape — a place where he could dream, and be alone with his thoughts. But now, as an ailing, 60-year-old man, Tsali was hiding in these hills for a very different reason. The white man had taken away the land that his ancestors had lived on for centuries. And they would not stop until even these majestic, sacred hills were theirs. Tsali looked out and saw his fellow villagers, who were also hiding in the tiny crevices that dotted the wooded hillside. Many were shivering in the early morning chill. In their haste to leave, they had had no time to pack their belongings. Some managed to smile back at Tsali, their teeth chat...

Lorenzo Dow’s Georgia Curse

There comes a time in life when we all need a little guidance – a little helpful push to remind us what’s right and wrong. And for some folks, that guidance comes from some good old fashioned, fire and brimstone preaching. Now these days, you can’t turn on the TV without seeing one religious channel after another. But back in the old days when there wasn’t any TV – or cars for that matter – the traveling preacher was the only man of God some country folk got to see. Lorenzo Dow was one of the best-known traveling preachers back in the 1800s. He was a funny looking man from Connecticut – tall and skinny with wild eyes, long stringy hair, a thick beard, and a slight hunchback. But he also had a booming voice that made sinners across the country shake in their boots. “Repent now, my brothers and sisters! Repent!” he would scream in every town he visited, and many people did just that. Lorenzo loved the outdoors, and would rather sleep on cold, hard ground in the woods than the most ...
