Cute story

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 walk
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 2 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 pot'sside?" "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 crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to
smell the flowers on your side of the path!

" Promised Relief "

You broke my spirit
and tore me apart,
I suffered in silence
and wept in my heart,

You put me down
and called me names,
I watched you in silence
play your games,

I thought my love
would show you the light,
teach you to care
and make things right,

T'was never enough
my love nor devotion,
my innocent gestures,
my heartfelt emotion,

The days turned to months
and years swept by,
I prayed to God
and continued to try,

You used and abused me
but not anymore,
My pride intact
I walked out the door,

I lived a lie,
A life in denial,
I thought it was love
but t'was only betrayal

What is confidence ????

A hypothetical situation where 20 executives board an
airplane and are told that the flight that they are
about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless
technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft.
Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that
their company's software is running the aircraft's
automatic pilot system.
Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each
offering a different type of excuse.
One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very
calm indeed.
Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed
flight, he replies : "If it is the same software that
runs my company's IT systems, this plane won't even
take off." !!!!

That is called Confidence!!!

Very Very Meaningful

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father. "There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold urs...
