Thread: Special Story

Hi , I just thought you might enjoy this story and how easy it is to forget the message in it. Sam

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.

During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.

The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning,
but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"

The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.

But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone
where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Take the time to live!

Do not value the THINGS you have in your life. But value WHO you have in your life!

That was great...always nice to hear something pleasant once in awhile.

When I read this story I was reminded of my PM in my office who had helped me to get this job. But after joining I realised that he was not a very nice person but very cunning and has a lot of inferiority complex.

At times when he hurts I remember the good he has done to me but he sometimes exceeds the limits!

For example he would joke about what I did in a project meeting in a negative way and expect me to laugh at it! He would say something playfully and later ask me why I didnt do what he asked me to do... He is entirely changed in both the situations! I requested him to be more professional when it comes to work but he didnt like it and said "Oh so you mean I am an idiot!!"

We are four girls in our team and you must see the way he behaves to the other girls. Since I am an indian so far he hasnt bothered me much! When it is hot he would ask one girl "It is so hot! Have you worn a slip under your shirt etc etc., " SICK SICK GUY

I wish I get another job in a more professional environment!
