Mirror



The good you find in others, is in you too.
The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.
After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others,
are possible for you as well.

The beauty you see around you is your beauty.
The world around you is a reflection,
a mirror showing you the person you are.
To change your world, you must change yourself.
To blame and complain will only make matters worse.
Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.

What you see in others, shows you yourself.
See the best in others, and you will be your best.
Give to others, and you give to yourself.
Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.
Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love, and you will be loved.
Seek to understand, and you will be understood.
Listen, and your voice will be heard.
Teach, and you will learn.

A noble mission

One hot day, a man was strolling along the seashore when he saw a young boy doing something odd in the distance. The boy would repeatedly bend to pick something up from the sand and throw it with all his might into the sea. When the man neared the boy, he realized that there were little starfish all around them on the beach. Under the blazzing sun, the starfish were obviously dying. The boy's noble mission was impressive, but there were simply too many starfish. The man said to this boy. `Son, you cannot posible save all of them.' The boy held up a starfish, tossed it into the sea and said, `But at least I could save this one.'

The boy's innocence reminds us that if your efforts can benefit at least one person, the your efforts are worthwhile.

Something for sharing.
