"MY FAVORITE TALE"

Very close to the Christmas, I will tell you my favorite tale.

"Two travelling monks reached a river. There was a strong current,   and  a prostitute  asked them if they could carry her across.  The first  monk  hesitated, but the second one picked her up onto his shoulders.  Together the monks strode through the river until they reached the other side.  The monk left the prostitute down on the other side. She thanked him and continued her journey.

As the monks continued on their way, the first monk was brooding and preoccupied all the way.  Unable to hold his silence, at the end of the day he spoke with anger.  “Brother, our spiritual trainer teaches us to avoid any contact with women – let alone that sort of woman – but you picked that one up on your shoulders and carried her!”

“Brother,” the second monk replied, “I left  her down on the other side, but  you had been carrying her for all day, and you are still carrying her.” "

What does it mean?...So many things!!.
Enjoy the life, help people, see inside the people and do not judge them by the apparences, forgive the people that did bad things to you, forget the bad experiences, be a good person, ....after reading the tale, I am sure each person will have a different lesson to be learnt.

How can we apply it  to our work?

......Well, I think that we have to enjoy our work as much as we can, but below our targets, position, salary increases, our stress to get them and our work discussions,.. at the end, it is only a work and I am convinced that we feel happier when we help others that when we are not doing it.

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all! 

Enjoy the holidays and recharge the batteries for the New Year, that it will arrive soon and for sure with new difficult challenges and difficulties! I will do it!
