Treasure what you have...

Just a little story for you:

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were aloving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.

The boy playfully went to the medicine bottleand, fascinated with itscolor, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant foradults in small dosages. When the child showed signs of poisoning them other took him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned.She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife anduttered just four words.

1. What were the four words?
2. What is the implication of this story?

The husband just said, "I Love You Darling ".

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. He is indeed a genius in human relationships. The child is dead. He can neverbe brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with themother. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective,there would be much fewer problems in the world. To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him alittle. To be happy with a woman you must understand her a lot and love herwith all your heart.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears AND you will find things are actually not so difficult as you think."

Thereare many beautiful, charming and wonderful men and women here on earth, it's just a matter of who you get to meet along the way and who youchoose to end up with for the rest of your life.

"Love has its owntime, season and reason. You can't ask for it to stay. You can only embrace it when it comes and be glad that for a moment in your life, it was your!
