An elderly woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
“I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side?
That’s because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.”
"Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.”
Each of us has his own unique flaw…
But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
Datuk Dr Fadzilah Kamsah telah merumuskan 7 'C' yang boleh menyebabkan lelaki hilang minat atau benci kepada seseorang wanita. 1. Comot Terdapat wanita yang cantik tetapi comot. Comot yang dimaksudkan ini boleh melibatkan wajah seseorang wanita itu, penampilannya yang selekeh, kerja yang dilakukannya serta tindak-tanduknya.
2. Cerewet
3. Cemburu Cemburu perlu dalam sesuatu hubungan. Tetapi wanita yang terlampau cemburu sehingga pasangannya merasa terkongkong akan membawa padah kepada perhubungan mereka. Ini memandangkan lelaki akan merasakan diri mereka tidak dipercayai.
4. Cuai Kebiasaan lelaki tidak suka jika pasangannya cuai terutama apabila ia melibatkan masa. Misalnya apabila suami menetapkan keluar jam 3pm tetapi pada masa yang ditetapkan isteri masih sibuk bersiap, ini akan membuat mereka benci kerana situasi itu.
5. Celupar Menurut Dr. Fadzilah, wanita yang cantik akan kelihatan hodoh jika mulutnya celupar.
6. Cabul Cabul di sini membawa maksud keji da segi perangai sehingga seseorang wanita itu langsung tidak ada malu. Misalnya bergaul bebas dengan lelaki-lelaki yang bukan muhrimnya tanpa menghirau batas pergaulan itu.
7. Cabar Lelaki mempunyai ego mereka yang tersendiri. Oleh itu mereka tidak suka dicabar terutama sekali oleh wanita. Wanita perlu tahu batas tindakan mereka agar lelaki tidak rasa tercabar. Misalnya mencabar dengan kata-kata seperti, "saya cabar awak ....."
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM"
He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious , he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM, Wake up."
HUMOR CASE 2 A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, " What?"
HUMOR CASE 3 Suami : Kenapa Sayang menangis? Isteri : Saya telah baca sebuah buku. Sad sungguh endinglah bang.. Suami : Buku apa? Isteri : Buku bank abanglah..
HUMOR CASE 4
Pada suatu pagi, bertanya si isteri pada si suami.
Isteri : Abang tengok jiran kita yg baru pindah tu?
Suami : Kenapa?
Isteri : Tiap pagi sebelum pergi kerja, suami dia akan cium isterinya. Bila pulang kerja, dia akan berikan isterinya sekuntum bunga mawar. Loving betullah mereka. Kenapa abang tak buat macam tu?
Suami : Nak mampus... Mana abang kenal isteri dia?"
Man : I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..
Lady: You can't even tell me the reason... how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?
Man : I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.
Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!
Man : Ok.. ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements..
Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and became comma. The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:
Dearest,
Because of your sweet voice that I love you. Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that I like you. Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you. Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love you. Now can you smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you.
If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore. Do love need a reason?
No!
Therefore, I still love you. And love doesn't need a reason.
I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw.
Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had gotten a new hair cut, cooked your favorite meal, and even wore a brand new pair of shirts later that night.
You came home, nibbled at your food for two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't want sex anymore or anything. Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me. Whichever is the case,,,, I'm gone.
Signed,
Your EX-Husband
P. S. Don't try to find me. Your sister and I are moving away together. Have a great life!
Nothing has made my day more enjoyable than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a 'good man' is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. It's just too bad it doesn't work.
Yes, I did notice when you got a hair cut last week,,, and actually the first thing that came to my mind was "You look just like a girl",,, but my mother raised me not to say anything at all if you can't say anything nice. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with my SISTER, because I stopped eating chicken seven years ago.
I turned away from you when you had those new shirts on because the price tag was still on them. I prayed that it was just a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your shirts were RM49.99...
After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit prize money for twenty million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Hawaii. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you've always wanted.
My lawyer said with the letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care.
Signed:
Rich and Freeeeeeeeeeee!
P. S. I don't know if I ever told you this but my sister 'Ina',,, was born Bob. I hope that's not a problem for you.
