The "Ramayan" is one of our most sacred epics.There is a verse in it. It advises us not to make false claims.
It says, there are three types of persons in the world - rose, mango and jackfruit.
A rose plant bear flowers. The flowers bloom, and get dried up as flowers. People of this type make promises. There promises are never delivered.
People of the second type are like mango plants. Mango plants also bear flowers. As time passes these flowers get developed into sweet fruits.People of this type make promises and fulfil them
People of the third type are like jackfruit trees. Jackfruit trees don't bear flowers. It just produces fruits People of this type don't make promises They just do and deliver without speaking a single word.

@Shivram59 Everyone has different characteristics, Rose are very beautiful, while if the mango is still unripe it will taste very sour.

@May2k8 But unripe mangoes taste nice when you make chutney.

Thank you.That's wonderful. I'm somewhere in between the three. Sometimes rose, sometimes mango and sometimes jackfruit.

@Ineeddentures No, I don't. I would, at least, like to be a mango tree
