A girl was standing on the roof of a high building. After finding out that her husband was cheating on her, she wanted to end with her life. After a short hesitation, she made a step forward. The girl fell fast towards the ground. 

But just before the death, the fear filled her soul. Suddenly she felt like she was in someone’s embrace. She opened her eyes and saw an angel, who was holding her in his hands.

Woman: Why didn’t you let me fall? (She asked with anger)

Angel: I will let you go if you agree to die understanding that there won’t be any memories of you left on earth, nothing.

Woman: How is that? 

Angel: You don’t have children, who would remember you, your mother is old and she will die soon. And everyone else…they will forget about you soon…

Woman: And my husband? He will blame himself for my death. If he will feel remorse all his life, he will remember me.

Angel: That won’t happen, he doesn't love you, he is happy with another woman. And he won’t blame himself for a long time, soon he will forget you.

Woman: Fine, I believe you. But I have things, photographs.

Angel: Your apartment will burn down after one year. And all your things will turn into ash…

Woman: But my friends have photos of me.

Angel: You don’t have friends, – the angel said quite coldly.

Woman: But… I am on the collective school photos.

Suddenly, the angel started to unclamp his hands.

Woman: You are letting me go because I proved to you that there will be memories about me left? – The girl asked mockingly.

Angel: No. You are clinging to the strings so hard; you are convincing me that I would let you die, just like others are clinging to some futile opportunities so that they could live. I don’t want to spend these moments with you, because I could help other people during that time. I want to give people a chance to live, not to die.

A girl is complaining to her father about her life and how the conditions are very hard for her. She doesn’t know how to handle and she wants give up. She was tire to continue fight and struggle. It looks like when one problem solved, there’s another problem.

Her father, a chef, took her into kitchen then fill 3 pots began to boil. In the first pot he put the carrots, in another pot he laid eggs and in the last pot he put the coffee beans. He let those boil without saying a word at all.

The daughter confused with what her father did. She has a problem but her father act strange.

Half hour later, the father walked to the stove and turn off the stove. Remove all ingredients to each glass. The father asked, “Dear, what do you see?” She quickly replied, “Carrots, eggs and coffee”.

The father took her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She does it and feels the carrots already softened. Then the father asked her to take the eggs that have been boiled and crack it. After she cracked the egg shells, she observed that those all solid. Last, the father asked her to drink the coffee. Her face wrinkled when she taste the power of coffee flavor. She asked him, “What’s the purpose of these all?”

The father explains, “Each of these object through the same thing, 100 degrees hot water. But each of it react differently. The carrots put in with strong and hard texture. But after going through boiled, it becomes soft and weak. The eggs are very fragile. Thin outer shell protects the liquid inside. But after being in boiling water, it became hardened. The coffee beans are unique. Once they were in boiling water, it had stronger and richer smell and taste. So which one are you?

Are you the carrots, eggs or coffee beans? Do you carrots that look strong but with a little pain difficulty and hot you become lethargic, softened and powerless? Do you eggs which initially have a soft heart and spirit that flowing likes liquid but after almost die, a farewell, a divorce a job cuts you become hard and rigid? Your shell looks the same but your heart and soul turned into very hard and rigid. Or, are you coffee beans? Coffee beans would not get the strong taste and aroma until it heated in 100 degrees boiling water. When everything is going worse you actually can do better. When in the dark days, your soul would rise to the next level.”

Five Life Balls

Brian Dyson, the former executive of Coca Cola, once said an interesting speech, “Imagine, life is like as acrobat with five balls in the air. You can each name the balls: Work – Family – Health – Friends and Spirit. You have to keep the balls in the air and protect it to not fall.

Even if the situation requires you to release one among five balls, release the ‘Work’ ball because that is a RUBBER BALL. When you drop it, one day it will bounce back to you, but the other balls are the GLASS BALL. If you drop it, you may cause fatal.”

Brian Dyson tries to suggest us to live balanced manner. In fact, we are too protective keep the Work which is a rubber ball, we even sacrifice Family, Health, Friends and Spirit for saving the rubber ball.

For the sake of money or work, we ignore the family. For the sake of success in work, we are being a workaholic and not pay attention to Health. Even for the sake money or work, we are willing to destroy our relationship with Friends that we built for years.

It doesn’t mean that work is not important but don’t make work or money be our GOD in our life.

Remember, even if we lose money, we can still find it again but if Family already sold, where we buy it again? Lost money can still sought but can we buy a friend? Lost money can still sought but can we recuperate our health normally if we are critical illness?

Take care your life priority to remain balance..
