The Three Questions by Leo Tolstoy - Short story audiobook - FAB
"The Three Questions" is a short story by Russian author Leo Tolstoy first published in 1885 as part of the collection What Men Live By, and other tales. The story takes the form of a parable, and it concerns a king who wants to find the answers to what he considers the three most important questions in life.
The thought came to a certain king that he would never fail if he knew three things. These three things were:
1) When is the best time to do each thing?
2) Who are the most important people to work with?
3) What is the most important thing to do at all time?
Listen to this audiobook and discover the answers.

This story has, perhaps, the main theme of Tolstoy's works in my opinion. I've read War and Peace, Anna Karenina and others. "Let me help you". THIS was the message for all of us.

Yes: Live and HELP live.

That story helped me understand not to AFRAID of someone in need. Many times in my life l found myself in situations to help someone and in doing so l was given another level of understanding my life journey. The next time you find yourself coming in contact with a person or a family in need take the time to listen even if you can't help perhaps you can find someone who can

Tolstoy at his finest. Wearing the reader with a fuzzy story line that tries its best to branch off in various directions that seem to make no sense. And then he sneaks in the brilliant conclusion - short, hard-hitting, and utterly unforgettable.

The best time is now and the most important thing to do is to help or do something worthwhile for the people and society around us. These two ideas I have realized. However to feel that the most important people are the people with whom you are everyday, this is still not rooted in my thought. I am thankful to this story I shall give more importance to this idea.
