Good things will happen when you think good about others!! When I was a small child, I always used to grab the best for myself. Slowly, everyone left me and I had no friends. I didn’t think it was my fault but criticized others.
My father gave me 3 sentences to help me in life.
One day he cooked 2 bowls of noodles & put them on the table. One bowl has one egg on top & the other bowl does not have any egg on top.
He said ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want?”
Eggs were hard to come by those days! Only get to eat eggs during festivals. Of course, I chose the bowl with egg!
I was congratulating myself on my wise decision but to my surprise, my father ate his noodles, there were TWO eggs at the bottom of his bowl beneath the noodles!
.
I regretted so much! And scolded myself for being too hasty in my decision.
My father smiled & said, ”My child. YOU MUST REMEMBER WHAT YOUR EYES SEE MAY NOT BE TRUE. IF YOU INTENT ON TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE, YOU WILL END UP LOSING!”
The next day, my father again cooked 2 bowls; one bowl with an egg on top & the other with no egg on top.
Again, he put the two bowls on the table & said to me, ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want?”
Good things will happen!
This time I acted smarter. I chose the bowl without any egg on top.
To my surprise, as I separated the noodles on top, there was not even a single egg at the bottom of the bowl!
Again my father smiled & said to me, ”MY CHILD, YOU MUST NOT ALWAYS RELY ON EXPERIENCES BECAUSE SOMETIMES, LIFE CAN CHEAT YOU OR PLAY TRICKS ON YOU. JUST TREAT THIS AS A LEARNING! YOU CANNOT LEARN THIS FROM TEXTBOOKS.
The third day, my father cooked the same and put the 2 bowls on the table & again said to me, ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want?”.
This time, I told my father, ”Dad, u choose first. You are the head of the family and contributed the most to the family. ”My father did not decline & chose the bowl with one egg on top.
As I ate my bowl of noodles, sure in my heart that there is no egg inside the bowl. To my surprise, there were TWO eggs at the bottom of the bowl.
My father smiled at me with love in his eyes, ”MY CHILD, ALWAYS REMEMBER”
When you think for the good of others, good things will always naturally happen to you!
