Today I read this story -
*There were three ships which were nearby when the Titanic sunk.*
One of them was known as the *Sampson*. It was 7 miles away from the Titanic and they saw the white flares signaling danger, but because the crew had been hunting seals illegally and didn't want to be caught, they turned and went the opposite direction away from the Titanic. This ship represents us and people like us if we are so busy looking inward at our own sin and lives that we can't recognize when someone else is in need.

The next ship was the *Californian*. This ship was only 14 miles away from the Titanic, but they were surrounded by ice fields and the captain looked out and saw the white flares, but because the conditions weren't favorable and it was dark, he decided to go back to bed and wait until morning. The crew tried to convince themselves that nothing was happening. This ship represents those of us who say I can't do anything now. The conditions aren't right for it and so we wait until conditions are perfect before going out.
The last ship was the *Carpathia*. This ship was actually headed in a southern direction 58 miles away from the Titanic when they heard the distress cries over the radio. The captain of this ship knelt down, prayed to God for direction and then turned the ship around and went full steam ahead through the ice fields. This was the ship that saved the 705 survivors of the Titanic.
ANALOGY :-
Obstacles and reasons to avoid responsibility shall always be there, but those who accept it always find a place in the hearts to be remembered for the world of good they do.
I really wish that we all could be Carpathians in life, unlike more Sampsons and Californians... and this world could be a more beautiful place to live in.
The question is lot of people would read this but what is the kind of decision they would take depends on their upbringing, their education and the system in which they are kind of living for ages. The very system which we have does not provide us a tool or mechanism towards success. The preachers or the teachers are those who have never nurtured anyone.
Let me see the parents want to send their children to the best schools to become ( am writing them on Priority) Doctors, Engineers, CAs, then the rest should be come either civil Servant, or State government Employee, then Banks, then Central Government Jobs. Which means there is nothing called as teaching as a profession which is a choice by the parents.
Now the ones who take this up are those who have not got anything, but just become the teaching professional with no skills nor motivation to be in that job. Every day he is looking outside the window of his teach room for a better opportunity than what he has in his hand. Then you need Carpathians ! where will you get them.
I am sure there has to be a change in the way we look at things and way the society looks at careers. To make Carpathians for the a beautiful world, we need to have mind set and a cultural revolution in the people, to defy all the set norms of the age old system, which do not encourage the Carpathian ideology.
Lets find nothing is an obstacle in life at least in thought go for it try and them make possible. If you can attempt you have done a great job of being a Carpathian
Looking for more Carpathian thinkers around
