A Beautiful Story


Totally influence by Bubzbeauty. You rock! =)
This story really spoke to people.
Once there was an old granny. She will travelled up the hill to the lake and get some water.
She will carried a pole with her. On each of the pole end, it will hung a bucket to carry home.
While one bucket is in good condition, the other bucket is cracked.
So the bucket which is always in good condition will always carry one full bucket of water home.
While the bucket which is cracked will always carry half a bucket of water home because the water will leaked out of the bucket crack.
For 2 years, the granny will carry a bucket and a half of water home.
The good condition bucket will feel very happy and proud of itself.
The cracked bucket will feel ashamed, unworthy.
The cracked bucket asked granny, "Why don't you just get a new bucket? These passing years, I only been able to deliver half a bucket of water home."
The cracked bucket thought granny is very hardworking, she bravely alone go up the hill everyday to collect water from the lake back home.
So when the granny heard how sad and gloomy the bucket felt, she decided to take both buckets to a place.
It was the path journey to the lake from home.
What she showed them is a beautiful flower path from home to the lake.
And she said to the bucket, "I've always know about your flaw. I've always know about your cracks. So I took advantage of it. And I took some flower seeds and plant them nicely along the path. Because of you, the flowers are able to grow so well. So I can pick them up and put these beautiful flowers in my home. And if it wasn't for you, cracked bucket, I wouldn't have experience such a beautiful journey on the way to collect water and I would not been able to keep these beautiful flowers in my house."

*The moral of the story is..everybody have flaws, it is the flaws that make you unique. The flaws that make you the person you are that love by the people around you. We are all cracked buckets. In god's eyes, nothing goes to waste. Never underestimate yourself. Have faith and Hope in yourself and others. Just like Mud, it may look useless and dirty to some. But to others, its valuable. Once its scooped off the ground, it will become Clay and has every opportunity to turn into a piece of beautiful art work. Nobody in this world is completely useless, so don't underestimate yourself! :D

Great advices Bubz~ Love you~
