Interesting Story

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

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how she was going to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and sa w the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words. QUESTIONS :

1. What were the five words?

2. What is the implication of this story? Scroll down to read....

ANSWER: The husband just said 'I am with you Darling'. The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior.

The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. 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. '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 as difficult as you think.

- - - - - - > MORAL OF THE STORY This story is really worth reading. Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

A friend emailed me this story..it's really touching.

People who blame are the ones who do not want to take responsibility for themselves, whom in turn, makes no progress in life. Whatever you want to acheive, you have to be responsible for yourself and make tough decisions (and stick to it), even if it is against the tides. The success acheived will be very sweet. Dont ever be part of the "Blame Game".. it takes your precious time away, when you can use it for much better things.

Last nite dreamt tat a fren strike lottery of $5000~~ This morning smsed her to ask her go and buy her lucky numbers. She wants to go taiwan in April,,so hope she can strike lottery and go taiwan with this windfall,,XD

Screwed up a customer's sexpot order coz her black t-shirt is sold out and we mis-ordered the white version (coz the pic are the same). She is so kind tat she said "it is ok, i will take the white one",when we offer to give her full refund or she can take the white t-shirt. So, we automatically upgraded her shipping to EMS coz it was our mistake of mis-ordering. She was soo nice and said "thank you so much for updating me with all the small details. Are there a feedback column where i could write so ppl can see?" Wah,,we make mistake and she still offers to write testimonials for us..she is heaven sent,,,^_^. Moreover, she is a first time customer and we felt bad for making mistakes. (we even tot she wont dare to order thru us anymore) We told her we would invite our satisfied customers to write testimonials when our new site is almost ready ^^
