| Lessons of Life There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judgethings too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look ata pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describewhat they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled sosweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping withfruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because theyhad each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season,and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love thatcome from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasonsare fulfilled. If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, thebeauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Moral of the Lesson Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches knowing that better times are sure to come some time Aspire to Inspire Before You Expire! Live Simply. Love Generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God. Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Sorrows keep You Human, Failures keep You Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, But Only God keeps You Going! |
