A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his 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 bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered 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 flaws. We're all cracked pots. 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 who they are, and look for the good in them.
nice story huh..
anyway.. gd new! i got my autocad part 1 project done. yeah! last thurs was really a day full of autocad. early in the morning went to sch to amend bits here & there and wait for wy to amend hers. nv tot tt it lasted tis 2pm lidat wor. so quickly chiong to pizza hut to makan cos we were damn hungry den. ate student meal chicken royale baked pasta.. yummy! but i muz say tt the service is damn POOR. much much worst than the clementi outlet. didn't know tt there's student meal at pizza hut.. dunno y we got more discount than the student meal supposed to be. izzit becos we are np student? *shrug*
after tt went to hunt for printing shop to print our autocad project. it seems like onli a few place have the autocad printing service.. tot it would be quite commonly used cos normally LS designers or architectures would use it to draw their plans and blue prints. after hunting for quite some time.. finally there's a shop in beauty world tt has the service * thank God!*
the uncle in the shop is very friendly lor. give us 1/2 price somemore! first round printing wasn't a gd one cos got a bit of problem here and there eg. texts too small, can't read. lineweight to thick, labelling not accurate etc.. den asked the uncle to let us use the com there to amend.. and to my surprise, he say ok lor. ! . so amend till 6+ den i got mine printed nicely. everything ok but i'm still not really happy wif it.. perfectionist mah =p anyway, i'm not goin to amend it anymore.. very tiring.. hehe.. and of cos.. i wanna thanks st for helping mi in the shop. without her, i guess i'm gonna amend till 9+ ba.
chiong hme by 184 and pass by a car-crash accident at clementi. like quite jialet cos there's 3 police car and it jammed the road like dunno-wat.. and i missed half a episode of the lui guang shen lin =
sat went back jt for meeting and saw the juniors having footdrill. it've been quite some time since i last saw them having their footdrill le. there's 2 words to describe how i felt tt moment, "shocked", "disappointed".
dressing not there esp when they jalan.. nua nua lidat.. all look very slpy. dunno wat happened to them.. too slacked? or too tired? mb becos they feel tt jt is merging soon so begin to bo charp liao. wondering wat would be the reaction of the audiences if we presented tis kind of footdrill during our speech day formation. hmm.. hope they can buck-up and show the ghim mo peeps a good footdrill by jt band members ba =>
tot finally can listen to the songs played by them, but the band pract turned up to be a spring cleaning session. double disappointment.
