"Failure
is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently."
A story
tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of
the journey they had an argument and one friend slapped the other one on the
face.
The one
who got slapped was hurt but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY
BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME ON THE FACE.
They kept
on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The
one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the
friend saved him.
After he
recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
TODAY MY
BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.
The
friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt
you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other
friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand
where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something
good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO
WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND
AND TO
CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
They say
it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day
to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
Do not
value the THINGS you have in your life..
But value
WHO you have in your life!
