Marble Story
There was this museum laid with beautiful marble tiles with a huge marblelady statue displayed in the middle of the lobby.
Many people came from all over the world just to admire this beautiful marble lady statue.One night, the marble tiles started talking to the Marble lady.
Marble tile: Marble lady, it's just not fair, it's just not fair! Why doeseverybody from all over the world come all the way here just to step on me while admiring you? Not fair!
Marble lady: My dear friend, marble tile, Do you still remember that wewere actually from the same cave?
Marble tile: Yeah! That's why I feel it is even more unfair. We were born from the same cave and yet we receive different treatment now. Not fair!
Marble lady: Then, do you still remember the day when the designer triedto work on you, but you resisted his tool?
Marble tile: Yes, of course I remember. I hate that guy! How could he use his tool on me, it hurt so badly.
Marble lady:That's right! He couldn't work on you at all as you resistedbeing worked on.
Marble tile: So???
Marble lady:When he decided to give up on you and start working on me instead, I knew at once that I would be something different after hisefforts. I did not resist his tool, instead I bore all the painful toolshe used on me.
Marble tile: Mmmmmmmmm????
Marble Lady: My friend, there is a price to everything in life. Since you decided to give up half way, you can't blame anybody who steps on you now.
The moral of the story is:The more hard knocks you go through in life, the more you'll learn and put them to use in the future. Do not be discouraged by setbacks, challenges and failures.
No pain..no gain..
Past is past, you can't change it, but it is actually a blessing indisguise.
Past was good, present is better and the future will always be the best.
KEEP YOURSELF FOCUSED ON YOUR HIGHEST VALUES, YOUR GOALS, AND YOURASPIRATIONS IN LIFE.
