Sand & Stone
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some
point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other
one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying
anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a
bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started
drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near
drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. The
friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt
you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other
friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where
winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something
good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate
them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it
also to the person who sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know
that you'll never forget them. If you don't send it to anyone, it means
you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends.
Take the time to live! Do not value the things you have in your life.
But value who you have in your life!
"to realize one's destiny is our only obligation"
"when you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve
it."
