Lesson 3 of 45



I came across this lovely piece on Fab after Fifty website. To celebrate growing older, Regina Brett age 90 put together 45 lessons life taught her. I am going to give you a phrase or two at a time, I feel this will be more memorable. I will document them the whole at the end.
Here is lesson three
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the Journey they had an  argument, and one friend Slapped the other one In the face. 
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: 
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE . 
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.
the friend who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning and the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone.

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE 


The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, 
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand 
and now, you write on a stone, why?" 

The other friend replied 
"When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand 
where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. 
But, when someone does something good for us,
 we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it." 


LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE!!!

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, 
an hour to appreciate them, 
a day to love them, 
but then an entire life to forget them.
