food for thought ... REALLY FOOD

hey. today ... i'm going to share a simple story ... abt apple =D. i heard it thru yes93.3, so ... if my translation isnt nice, dun blame me !!! haha.

it's a simple story, and hopefully it will stir up some thoughts in u. haha

so here it goes ... 1 day, the son came back frm the nursery n saw his dad reading newspaper on the couch. he ran over to him and exclaimed, "daddy!!! today we found stars in apples!!!". with an almost non-chalant attitude, he asked, "how is that possible," then he took an apple frm the fridge and asked his young son how they did it. the son quickly grabbed a fruit knife and started halving the apple. yes, he cut it. but, in a rather queer way. instead of the traditional longitudinal way, he halved the apple transversely. he proudly showed the core of the halved apple to his dad. his dad opened his jaws in disbelief, nv did he ever realise that a star resides in an apple. all along he, n supposedly all man, cut the apple the 'original' and 'traditional' way, or jus eat it on the whole.

any tots yet? many a time we looked at things in onli 1 way n jumped into conclusion. frequently, we took things for granted n as many times, we tot negatively when we encountered setbacks. if we could take a step back, put ourselves in others' shoes n look at things frm different angles, perhaps, jus perhaps, things could change for the better. frm a setback, we learned a lesson. frm a fall, we learned how to stand up agn. frm a failure, we learned to start agn with a better view.

maybe this is not persuasive enuff to get thru u, but i jus wan to share it with ppl =D. hope u like it tho.
