Did you notice the flowers ?

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck.


One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.


At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.


For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.


Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.


But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.


After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.


“I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”


The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?

Did you notice the flowers ?

Reply:"Mindset," Carol Dweck, Ph.D., has an insight into flexibility re one's achievements and flaws: if one focuses too much on one's perfections, one may become rigid in defense of one's image of perfection, hence lower flexibility in learning.





"Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov, "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, "Watch Your Dreams," Ann Ree Colton, "Reborn in the West: The Reincarnation Masters," Vicki MacKenzie, and "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, http://www.divinecosmos.com are worthwhile.

Reply:well , whatever in this world , can be turns into goodness if only we knows how , and , had the times and efforts for to do it's. While , perfection is nothing much for to ponders with , but , in anyway , are something really good for to have as it's was our desires for it's. In both cases , GOODNESS CAN BE IN BOTH SIDE , if only one's did thinks for to knows how in to making its. In my opinion , for at this PRESENT time of the past , for the FLOWERS are the advancements in TECHNOLOGY.
