A VERY NICE STORY WITH A GOOD MORAL

A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game.

The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes.

Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates,

So the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.

Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended....

The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?". The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???"

Moral of the story: Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best attitude to take but never ever forget the lesson they have thought you.

True love is not loving a perfect person but loving an imperfect person perfectly

FOR WHOM

An Elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer Contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but the needed to retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front door key to the carpenter. “THIS IS YOUR HOUSE” he said “MY GIFT TO YOU”.

The carpenter was shocked! What a Shame! If he had only known he was building his own house. He would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, We’d do it much differently. But we cannot go back.

We are the carpenter. Each day we hammer a nail, place a board or erect a wall.

Life is a “DO IT YOURSELF” project, our attitude and the choices we make today, built the HOUSE we live in tomorrow. We must build wisely.

REMBER ………….

Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody is watching.

Ia a job is worth doing, it ‘s worth doing well.
