Good Chinese Wisdom……………………….

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?

That’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 water them.’  ‘For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.’  Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.’

Each of us has our own unique flaw… 

But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.  You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

To all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers, on your side of the path. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a great Tuesday people and and whatever you do, don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP!  Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

 

QUOTES OF THE DAY   

A man with one watch knows what time it is; 

A man with two watches is never quite sure

Don’t look where you fall

But where you slipped.

Look at life through the wind-shield, 

Not through the rear view mirror.

People may doubt what you say

But they never doubt what you do.

Be nice to people on the way up

Because you will need them on the way down

Never explain

Your friends do not need it

Your enemies will never believe it.

While seeking revenge

Dig two graves

……… one for yourself.

Time you enjoyed wasting

……… was not wasted.

Courage is not lack of fear

But the ability to act while facing fear

You’ve got to do your own growing

No matter how tall your father is.

The best way to predict your future

Is to create it.

Tim is a professional clown who entertains groups at parties and company picnics. 

On one occasion, an inebriated guest began heckling him in the middle of a performance, disrupting his act.
