Monday Motivation….. October 20, 2014 (193)
There once was a man who was blind from birth! He owned a fruit stand on a very busy street. One day his only son came to him and told him that he read in the newspaper of a new discovery where they could operate on his eyes and allow him to see. The Father and son traveled to the doctor and paid for the operation.
The doctor asks the man after the operation: “What is the first thing you want to see when I take the bandages off?”
The man that was blind from birth replied, “I want to see my beautiful fruit on my stand!”
The Doctor and the son escorted the man that was blind from birth, down to the busy street where his fruit stand was located for so many years. The carefully unwrapped the bandages so that he could lay his eyes on the beautiful fruit! The man was so full of joy that he could finally see his life’s work taking care of his fruit!
After a few hours of enjoying his beautiful fruit stand, he looked down the street both ways and saw there were quite a few fruit stands in both directions. He looked across the street and saw other fruit stands. He spent so much time looking at other people fruit stand and he went out of business!

Moral:
Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize and admire others. Motivation from progress of your competitors can keep you ahead of the game whereas jealousy can turns you down… Choice is yours..!
Have a great week ahead..!
