wow, i'm blogging again, raining outside now, nasty weather, dark clouds and all and you feel down and sad too. but somehow there's always this small little patch of sky, that has sunlight filtering through it. in this dark sea of life, let us be the one who brings sunlight to others, despite how insignificant it may seem. There was once this little girl who remarked to her dad who was a cook: "Dad, life is so difficult, i don't want to carry on with life anymore." Her dad simply asked her to pass him three things, an egg, a carrot and a piece of chocolate. Taking a pot, he boiled water and added the three items in. He took out the boiled egg which had become hard boiled and said: "some people are like this egg, when confronted with the heat of life, they become hard and toughen up", next he took out the carrot: "some other people are like this carrot, when confronted with the heat of life, they become soft and give up easily", finally he took the pot and showed it to the girl. Inside was a pot of hot chocolate, he said : "you should be like this piece of chocolate. instead of trying to change the circumstances in life or yourself, you should try to blend in with life and spread your sweetness around." and so the little girl did.
