CHINESE STORIES
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung
end of a pole which she carried on her shoulders. One of the pots had
a crack, while the other was perfect, and was always full of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung
end of a pole which she carried on her shoulders. One of the pots had
a crack, while the other was perfect, and was always full of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For two years this went on, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its achievements.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been done. After two years that he realized its bitter failure, one day he spoke to the woman along the way:
"I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side
causes water to leak all the way to your house. "
The old smiled
The old smiled
" Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the trail,
but not from that other vessel?
's because I have always known about your flaw,
so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day,
while we walk back, you watered them.
For two years I was able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

If you had not been as you are, I would not have this beauty to grace the house. "
Each of us has our own unique flaw.
Each of us has our own unique flaw.
But the crack and failure to ensure that everyone has the life together both interesting and rewarding. You have to take each for what it is and see what is good in him.
Wherefore, my "bad" friends, good day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path ...
