A Lesson on Opportunities

If you are walking on a street and see this piece of paper, what would you do?


Is it worth bending over and picking it up? Is it worth checking out? What if you didn't mind it and the person following you suddenly exclaims in joy over his find? What if you picked it up and when you opened it, it turns out to be three people staring back at you?

Here's a story I've heard from Jennifer, a successful lady from Thailand whose greatest achievement (I think) is looking 10 years younger than her actual age.. There was once a rich beautiful lady with a servant working for her. The lady was very kind and nice as well and was married to a not-so-good-looking man. The servant had always been curious why the beautiful lady married such man but she never had a chance to ask as the husband was often with his beautiful wife. One day, the beautiful lady was alone in the house with the servant. Trying to gain some confidence to ask, the servant approached the lady. "Ma'm, I hope you don't mind me asking but I've always wondered how come you married your husband." The lady laughed at the boldness of the servant but sent her off to the garden to look for the most beautiful flower and she' ll get the answer when she returns. She was given half an hour to search for the most beautiful flower. She found a pretty flower but at the back of her mind, she thinks there might be something else prettier. and that went on and on and she came to the end of the garden and was out of time. She picked what was in front of her and went back to the beautiful lady. 'So is this the prettiest in the garden?", asked the lady. "Actually, I've seen prettier ones but there wasn't enough time to go back," the servant replied. "You have the answer to your question," the lady said and went out of the room.
