A GREAT Story!

You should read it! You might gain something from it...Trust me!

A lady was waiting for her flight in a boarding room of a big airport. As she would need to wait for many hours she decide to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies. She sat down in an armchair in the VIP room of the airport to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat opened his magazine and started reading.

When she took out the first cookies, the man took out one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought,

"What a nerve! It was the mood I will punch him for daring!"

For each cookie she took, the man took on too. This was infuriating her but she don't want to cause a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought,

"ah... what this abusive man will do now?"

Then the man took the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half.

"Ah this was too much!"

She was much too angry now. In a huff she took her book, her things, and stormed to the boarding place.

When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her eye glasses and to her surprise, her PACKET OF COOKIES was there, UNTOUCHED, UNOPENED! She felt so ashamed! She realized that she was wrong. She had forgotten that her cookies was kept in her purse.

The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling anger or bitter...while she had been very angry that she was dividing his cookies with him. And now, there is no time to explain himself...nor to apologies.

There is 4 things you can't recover.
  • The stone... after throw!
  • The word... after it's said!
  • The occasion... after the loss!
  • The time... after it's gone!
There is no use to regret for our action in the past. Live for the future and try not to repeat the same mistake over and over again. One more thing, control your emotion in every situation. Once you are in control...everything will be just fine.
