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 in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without
saying anything, wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN 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!
