At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and
sat on a lady.
She started screaming out of fear.
With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started
jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the
cockroach.
Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got
panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it
landed on another lady in the group.
Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue
the drama.
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the
behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and
threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of
my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was
the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?
If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?
He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.
It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle
the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the
ladies.
I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or
my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the
disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.
It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my
inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that
disturbs me.
More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that
creates chaos in my life.
Lessons learnt from the story:
I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.
The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.
Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always
well thought of.
A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.
Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his
Life..
He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life
is Right..!!
