We look at others who are tall, handsome or beautiful, look at ourselves in the mirror and shudder. Sometimes there are also people around who say things that make us feel this way. To such as you do I bring these two lovely stories: Read them and then tell me whether you feel the same way:A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which he carried around his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.Every day at the end of the long walk from the stream where the water bearer filled the two pots, the cracked pot arrived only half full.For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering one and a half pots of water to his house.Of course the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. It also felt it was letting down its master who in spite of its fault carried it painstakingly everyday from the stream to his house.After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it gathered up courage to speak to the water bearer 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," it cried.       The bearer smiled and touched the pot lovingly, "Did you notice there are flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" he asked. "That's because I have always known of your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your particular side, so that everyday while we walk back you water them!""For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate the table. And those flowers make our home so cheerful and gay everyday. Without you being the way you are, there would never have been such beauty outside on the path and in my home!"Here's the second little story:A well-known speaker held up a five hundred-rupee note. In the room of two hundred people he asked, "Who would like this 500 note?" Hands started going up and he said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this," and he proceeded to crumple the note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" All the hands were up in the air. "Well," he said, "what if I do this?" and he dropped the note onto the floor and ground it with his shoe. He picked it up, dirty and crumpled, "Now who still wants it?" The same hands were up."My friends," said the well-known speaker, "even in life when we get dropped and crumpled and grounded into the dirt we will never lose our value!Now my dear readers, put your chin up and head straight, and with a smile on your face, face another week with cheer and confidence, if you are like that cracked pot or crumpled note, you have every reason to go forth with joy..!If u has a Problem: Don’t goto God and say I have problem, instead goto Problem and say I have GodIf you look at what you do not have in life, you don't have anything, If you look at what you have in life, you have everything.</blockquote>
