Monday Motivation….. December 31, 2012 (099)
There was a group of elderly gentlemen in Japan who would meet to exchange news and drink tea in an effort to enjoy their retirement. One of their diversions was to search for costly varieties of tea and create new blends that would delight the palate.
When it was the turn of the oldest member of the group to entertain the others, he served tea with a greatest ceremony, measuring out the leaves from a golden container. Everyone had the highest praise for the tea and demanded to know by what particular combination he had arrived at this exquisite blend.
The old man smiled and said, “Gentlemen, the tea that you find so delightful and refreshing is the one that is drunk by the peasants (workers) in my farm.”
Moral:
The finest things in life are neither costly nor hard to find. They are in turn your health, your love, your freedom, your intelligence, your friends – you cannot buy any of those because they are all free and easy to reach..
Have a great week ahead and best wishes for the New Year 2013!
