A little girl with two apples

 My speaking course teacher 黃桂林傳來的故事

A little girl was holding two apples with both hands.


Her mum came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile: my sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?

The girl looked up at her mum for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.

The mum felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.
Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mum,and said: mummy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.

No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement.  Give others the privilege to explain themselves.

What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.

Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.

Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.

Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.

Those who apologizes first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.

Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.

Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.

One day, all of us will get  separated  from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had. Days will pass by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare... One day our children will see our pictures and ask 'Who are these people?' And we will smile with invisible tears  because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: 'IT WAS THEM THAT I HAD THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE WITH'.

Send this to all your friends that you will never forget. Put this on the Whatsapp of those who made you smile in any way. It might surprise you but look at how many will be sent back. Thank you for making more people to smile in Life.

***may all blessed enough to harvest peace of mind firmly

The story is profound. Blind spot roots from judgement and judgmental model usually.

I had similar case about my son. When I asked him why he did not give me water to drink when I was thirsty badly , I told him, at that moment, I was disappointed. 

What he replied surprised me:   I don't  trust the water quality. 

His intention was from loving and caring.

Understanding people's positive intention can release  anger, worry and blind spot quickly.
