In a small office, there were a set of project mates who shared a refrigerator .In that refrigerator was a water filter pitcher. One of the coworkers complained that the water tasted "dirty". It went on for a few days and she was stunned to see others could drink the water without any trouble. The others started to doubt their taste buds but the water tasted fine to the others who consumed it.
The management brought in experts to fix the water filter , who dismissed the complaint of the company .Finally, they figured that the problem was actually the employee’s cup. She simply forgot to clean it, and after a while started to affect the water inside it. She cleaned her cup and then had water which tasted good.
Think about the world we live in. Too often we quickly blame other people, other things but ourselves.
E.g. - "You're troublesome". "Others are intolerant". "The problem is in our system".
The world isn't perfect, we all know but we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some tough questions. Can I be better at this? Is there a way I can do this better ? Is there a way I can manage this situation better with the available support ?
Please look into yourself before you complain . Your life can only change to the degree of responsibility you accept. Self-reflection is the school of Wisdom!!
