Value people not things

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.


Do not value the THINGS you have in your life..


But value WHO you have in your life!
