There is power in a story but all stories are not equal. There are classic stories of hope and inspiration that enable readers or an audience to maintain their high spirits as well as face the daunting challenges that exist in life. Here are a few stories that will inspire any reader and give a person greater hope for tomorrow.

You have a unique story, and everyone too. A boy traveling on a train kept commenting about the trees moving backwards and skies following them. A couple that sat opposite was annoyed and kept begging the father to take the kid to a doctor or shut him up. Unknown to the couple, the boy had been blind and was returning from a surgery. He was fascinated to see the first time. Let us allow other people to enjoy their moments because we do not know what it means to them.

Rise above the troubles that seek to bury you. When a donkey fell into a water well, the owner took a spade and decided to bury it. However, this donkey would shake its back for the soil to fall to its feet. It stepped on the soil until the well was filled. This story teaches a lesson of overcoming the challenges we are facing instead of succumbing.

The elephant and a rope. An elephant trainer had used a thick rope to tie the elephant for years such that it could not move. When the tough rope was removed and a weak string tied to the legs, the elephant remained tied to the spot yet it could go free. The lesson is not to remain tied by challenges of the past that you can overcome easily.

Hot water hardening eggs while softening potatoes. When hot water boils an egg, it makes it hard. When the same hot water acts on a potato, it gets soft. The reaction you give to a challenge will determine how well you survive. One person will come out top from the same situation while another is beaten. Be positive when looking at different situations.

The value of a folded 100 dollar bill. At a podium, a speaker asked who wanted a 100 dollar bill. Everyone raised his or her hand. When the speaker folded it once more, and asked the same question, the same number of people wanted the bill. The message from the story is that you are valuable despite the challenges that beat you up.

A bank account with 86,400 dollars. It would be exiting for anyone to get such a bank account. It gets better when you realize that this account is renewed on daily basis. Surprisingly, these are the seconds you get every morning. It is up to you to choose what to do with them and change your life.

There are many more stories about people in business, family and social life that can inspire people. As a speaker or writer, it is how you look at these narratives that will determine how well they apply to different situations. They provide remarkable inspiration to readers and listeners.
