Sheer Truth

Betty and  Notty were two young mothers who lived across the street from each other. From their living room windows, each woman was able to observe the activities of the other woman’s family.

One day,Betty confessed that she’d been watching what went on in Notty’s front garden and that she envied her. I don’t know what you mean, Notty said with puzzled look on her faceWell, I often see your husband out in the front mowing your lawn, and I wish my husband would do the same thing, Betty said. Your garden is beautiful!


Notty laughed and then made her confession. "I have been doing the same thing Bettty," she said. I watch your husband in your front garden - and I have envied you! Notty shook her head with disbelief. "What on earth do you mean," She asked. Betty  replied," I see your husband playing ball with your toddler so nicely." How I wish  Sandy, my husband, would do the same thing! He never wants our boys in the way when he mows. Be honest Betty. Would you rather have your husband play with your son than have a well-manicured lawn?
I had not thought of that before, but your right Notty. I may have tall grass, but Sam, my husband is right about playing with little Finlay, Notty concluded.


Very often we are blind to our own blessings that are so obvious to others. Let us cultivate the habit of concentrating on our several blessings rather than brooding over what we perceive as curses.
  I remember a proverb which I learnt in grade 5."Distant pasture is greener'   My dear readers don't you agree with this proverb .Do you? I welcome your valuable comments.

Reality

Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student. One day they were lying down under a big tree on a grassy plain. Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher, Teacher, I’m confused, how can I find my soul-mate..? Can you please help me..?
Teacher : Silent for few seconds, then he answered, well; it’s a pretty hard and easy question.
Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???
Teacher : Look that way, there’s a lot of grass there, why don’t you walk there, but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful blade of grass and pick it up,
then give it to me. But just ONE blade of grass.Student : Well, ok then.. wait for me.. walked straight ahead on the grass field.
A few minutes later.
Student : I’m back.
Teacher : Erm, well I don’t see any beautiful blade of grass in your hand.
Student : On my journey, I found a few beautiful blades of grass, but each time I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn’t pick it up. But I didn’t realize that I’m at the end of the field, and I hadn’t picked
up any. ‘Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn’t go back.Teacher : That’s what happens in real life..What is the message of this story..?
In looking for your soul mate, please don’t always compare and Hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you’ll waste your lifetime, ’coz remember Time Never Goes Back”.
It applies similarly in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business opportunity
