I wish to share this article received in my mailbox.
There was a group of 50 people in a seminar.
There was a group of 50 people in a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and started
giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using
a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that
room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5
minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each
other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could
find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly
collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own
balloon.
The speaker began--- Exactly this is
happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all
around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of
other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness.
And this is the purpose of human life.
One of the life's lessons to be learnt, indeed
