1. Heres some good oldChinese wisdom! Do not click. Put on the
sound
2. An elderlyChinesewoman hadtwo largepots, eachhung on theends
of apole, whichshe carriedacross herneck. 3. One of the potshad a
crack init while theother pot wasperfect andalwaysdelivered afull
portion ofwater. 4. At the end of the long walk from the stream to
the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. 5. For a full
two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one
and a half pots of water. 6. Of course, theperfect pot wasproud of
itsaccomplishments. 7. But the poorcracked potwas ashamedof its
ownimperfection,andmiserablethat it couldonly do halfof what it
hadbeen made todo. 8. After 2 yearsof what itperceived tobe
bitterfailure, itspoke to thewoman oneday by thestream. 9. I am
ashamed of myself, beca use this crack in my side causes water to
leak out all the way back to your house. 10. The oldwomansmiled,
Didyou noticethat there areflowers onyour side ofthe path, butnot
on theother potsside? 11. Thats because Ihave alwaysknown aboutyour
flaw, so Iplanted flowerseeds on yourside of thepath, and everyday
while wewalk back, youwater them. 12. For two years I havebeen able
to pick thesebeautiful flowers todecorate the table. 13. Without
you being just theway you are, there wouldnot be this beauty
tograce the house. 14. Each of us has his own uniqueflaw 15. But
its the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together
so very interesting and rewarding. 16. Youve just got to take each
person for what they are and look for the good in them. 17. To all
of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the
flowers, on your side of the path.
