An old Chinese man has two clay pots that he uses to carry water every day. One pot is cracked and the other pot is good enough to hold water. When carrying water far from the stream back home, the cracked pot can only have half the water left.
The old man carries this water every day for two years, bringing only one and a half pots of water to the house.
In fact, The good pot's proud of its accomplishments. But the cracked pot is ashamed of its imperfections and feels sorry for itself, which can only take half the water. After two years, the cracked pot described it as a "bitter failure" and said to the old man, "I'm embarrassed because my side cracked and leaked the water on the way back home".
The old man smiled and said, "Have you noticed that there are flowers on the side of the road on your side, but no flowers on the other side of the road on the good pot side?" "This is because I know that you have cracks, so I sow the flowers on the side of the road, and every day when I carry water back home, you water them every day. " "For the past two years, I have been picking beautiful flowers and decorating them on the table. Without a cracked pot like yours, there is no beauty to decorate the house.
Each of us has our own shortcomings. But it is all the shortcomings that we all have that make our lives together so interesting and thriving. You have to accept someone as themselves. And find out the good points they have.
So, dear friends, good luck and do not forget to smell the flowers on the streets you travel!
