THE CRACKED POT

I love this – I hope you do too.
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other
pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots
of water.. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its
own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
‘I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. The old woman smiled, ‘Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pots side?’ ‘That’s because I have always known about your
flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you
water them.’ For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.’ Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
SO, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on
your side of the path! And share this story with any or all of your
Cracked Pot friends and see what a smile you will put on their faces.

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

We don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. No matter how good friends are, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. You can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. Either you control your attitude or it controls you. Regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. Money is a lousy way of keeping score. My best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up. Sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Maturity has more to do with what types of
experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. No matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. Just because two people argue, it doesn't mean
they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do. You shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help. Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
The people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon. You should tell people you love that you love them, as often as possible, because you never
know when your last chance will be.

TWO MOST ANNOYING THINGS GIRLS DO

In a world where craziness, weirdness and absolute madness is celebrated,I personally find the following things girls do very annoying;

1. Snapping pictures with one hand in between their legs as if touching their privates.

2. Wearing of skimpy and revealing clothes.
Yes!! We agree guys love to see it but we prefer to do so in private that’s why those parts you show us in public and mess up our mind is called private parts. If you want to practice as ashawo business get a room and stay there, don’t come to the public next time to cause vehicular and mindular accidents.

TORRES AND SIMEONE, A GREAT LESSON FOR EVERYONE.

I saw this image and it moved me so much. It is just a picture of two footballers standing side by side. But it is also an image that conveys so much message about life. Some 10 years ago, Diego Simeone played alongside Fernando Torres at Atletico. Those years, Torres was so influential that he was made captain of the team despite being far younger than Simoene. Allusively, the El Nino was the boss of the El Cholo. Essentially,
Torres could partly suggest who
should play and who shouldn’t. A decade on, Diego Simone becomes boss of Torres, and ultimately decides whether the El Nino plays or doesn’t. The period looks a long one, but infact very short. Torres had gone to
England, Italy and career was almost dead. At a point when all smaller clubs rejected him, Simeone vetoed he’s brought back. Now, he’s certainly back to his best and in the Champions League final again. I’m thinking, if
Torres had looked down on Simone when he was skipper? Thinking if he had mistreated, disrespected and been rude to Diego those years? Would he be given a chance when Diego becomes boss? In 2005, Simoene did what Torres ordered in camp. In 2016, Torres obey the orders of Simeone.

Life is like a coin thrown up in the air. No one can predict which side falls and what moment it turns. Nobody knows tomorrow. All these may sound irrelevant, but may sound reasonable if you understand life turnarounds.
Nobody stays top forever. You’re boss today but One day, someday, someone will become your boss. Perhaps a stranger, perhaps one of the people you ‘bossed’ over. Treat everyone down there with respect when you’re in the up chair, because
you never know tomorrow. Thread cautiously. You may not care today, but may be you’ll someday. A boss today can be a subordinate tomorrow. A servant today is a potential boss
tomorrow. Use power and position cautiously.
