There was once a couple, married for many years. They were middle-aged.
One day the husband after a long debate in his mind, concluded that his wife cannot hear so well as in the old days, so he thought she would need a hearing aid. Not sure how to address the problem to his wife, he requested help from the family doctor with who he discussed the problem. The doctor advised him to make a simple test to his wife in order to make a clearer idea of the so-called hearing problems.
This is what you have to do, said the doctor. Stay to about 10 metres away from your wife and as if you have a normal conversation speak to her, tell her something and see if she hears. If you do not receive any response then move closer to eight metres away, then to five metres and so on until you get an answer.
In the evening the husband positioned himself near the kitchen where the distance from his wife was about 10 metres and asked her in a normal tone: Honey, what’s for dinner? But he received no response. So, the husband moved closer, this time to the door that separated the living room from the kitchen, a at about 8 metres from his wife.
He asked again. Honey, what’s for dinner? Still no response received. He went and sat on the kitchen table, in the dining area which was five metres from his wife. He asked again with the same tone: Honey, what’s for dinner? Again, he received no response, so he advanced to two metres from his wife repeating the phrase: Honey, what’s for dinner? Again he received no response. So, he went near her and behind her ear said with the same tone: Honey, what’s for dinner? James for the fifth time, I said that we baked chicken.
You can’t change what’s going on around you, unless you change what’s going on within you: Life does not get better by chance, it only gets better when you change, especially from within. When you are looking for faults, use a mirror and not a telescope: Don’t spend too much time looking for faults in others, you may not be left with any time to correct your own.
Be smarter than other people, don’t just tell them so: Figure out and invest time on changing yourself. Rather than telling others how to be good people bring out the good in people: No matter what happens to your life, be good and do good to people. You rise when you lift others. When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself: Everything that we judge in others, is what we fear about ourselves, spend time on helping yourself to change & improve.
