Dear Friends,
Let me share with you a story about Laotse.
When Laotse Teacher is about to die, Laotse is so upset and tell the teacher " When you are away, there will be no one to teach me"
To that The teacher pointed to the cup of water on the table and Laotse says" I know you want me to be grateful to the water i drink, know the source of where it comes from"
The teacher then ask Laotse to stop when he saw tall trees on the road. Laotse say " You want me to respect the elders as they are wiser"
Finally the teacher open his mouth and ask Laotse why the teeth are gone but the tongue remains?"
Laotse says the Teeth is hard so it drop by the tongue is soft so it remains.
With that the teacher says" I have nothing more to teach you, you have learn all i can teach"
I reflect myself at Laotse at times and constantly remind myself of these lesson. I am a happy man now because i remain like water, fluid yet flexible.
Hope you enjoy the story for the day, my friend!
