“I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I can recognize you and say thank you again. “

Indian billionaire Ratan Ji Tata when a radio presenter was asked in a telephone interview: “Sir, what do you remember when you found the happiest happiness in life”?
Ratan ji Tata said: “I have crossed four stages of life, finally I understood the meaning of true happiness. “
The first step is to accumulate wealth and resources. But at this stage I didn’t get the happiness I wanted.
Second phase of collecting valuables and things. But I realized that the effect of this matter is also temporary and the flash of valuable things won’t last long.
Then came the third phase to get the bigger project. Back then I had 95% diesel supply in India and Africa. I am also the owner of the largest steel factory in India and Asia. But even here I didn’t get as much joy as I expected.
Phase four, my friend asked me to buy wheelchairs for some disabled children. There are about 200 children. Bought wheelchairs immediately as per the request of a friend.
But buddy insisted I go with him and provide wheelchairs for the kids. I got ready and went with them. My hands gave wheelchairs to all the deserving kids out there. Strange joy on those kids faces. I saw them all in wheelchairs having fun.
I felt true happiness that day. One of the kids grabbed my leg as I was about to go back from there. I tried to gently free my leg, but the kid wouldn’t let go and he was staring me in the face and holding my leg tight. I leaned over and asked the child: Do you want anything else?
Then the answer that boy told me not only shocked me but changed my outlook on life completely.
The boy said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I can recognize you and thank you again. “
RIP, Ratan N Tata
