Time Never Goes Back
With many thanks to Mussadikh Meah


Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student lying down under a big tree near a big pasture of grass. Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher:

Student : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Can you please help me?

Teacher : (Silent for few seconds, than he answers) Well, it's a pretty hard and easy question.

Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???

Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful blade of grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.

Student : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked straight ahead to the grass pasture).

A few minutes later...

Student : I'm back.

Teacher : Erm, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand.

Student : On my journey, I found a few beautiful blades of grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the pasture, and I hadn't picked up any. Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.

Teacher : That's what happened in real life.

What is the message of this story?

* Grass ~ is people around you

* Beautiful Blade of Grass ~ is people that attract you

* Grass Pasture ~ is time

* In looking for your soul-mate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, because remember "Time Never Goes Back".

It applies the same in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business. Therefore, the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!
