今早同事发到我邮箱里这篇文章.
ZT
An old woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of
a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect
and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house,
the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman
bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection,
and miserable that it could only do half of what
it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure,
the pot spoke to the woman 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."
The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are
flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other
pot's side?
That's because I have always known about your flaw,
so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,
and every day while we walk back, you water them."
"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful
flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not
be this beauty to grace the house." ZT
读完有点儿心虚, 为啥偏发给俺?
去别的同事那问问, 原来都收到了, 方才心安
谁看懂了谁就吱一声. 没懂的再读几遍, 读懂回贴为止 ..
