DOING WHAT’S RIGHT FOR US


have you ever wondered how come we seem to be continuously striving so hard??? harder than what you think is what you are capable of doing??? how many times were you asked to do things for others that you are compelled to do simply because you are afraid that you might loose your job.. has it ever dawned on you that these simple little things that we feel doesn't really matter that much, actually means so much if you sum up all these little things???

a good example was a drifting faucet that i found in my friends house when i stayed there overnight ... i told him that its a big problem if the water keeps on dripping overnight, and even asked him how long has it been like that... he told me that he can't exactly remember but it is more than a month... so i dared him that it needs his attention then.... he told me that it was nothing so i asked him to put the plug on the bathtub before we go to sleep and we'll so next day how much water will accumulate....

astonished as he was, he didn't realised that a drip of water every 3 seconds can fill up a bath tub, short of spilling over in 8 hours time.... so right there and then he called his land lord and asked him to send a plumber as soon as the weekend is over...

i told him that finally he made a decision that is not only for him but for all of us... considering how water is getting more difficult to come by everyday, especially in desolated area.... so its best to do things that are good for all of us... there are other things that we can correlate this...
