Words of Wisdom

"Can you see the content of this mug that I am holding?"

"No, I do not have x-ray vision and hence will not know what is inside your mug."

"If only human beings have x-ray vision.... It will reduce the misunderstandings between each other!"

"Why the sudden reflection?"

"I realized that I used to look at things superficially. Without going a step further, this prevented me from understanding the situation better!"

The above is roughly the conversation that transpired between a pair of siblings in tonight's 9pm show on channel 8. But it also holds relevance to my insights for today.

My boss shared some words with me. Essentially the message is to try to see things from others' perspective whenever we are unsure. Though I may not always agree with what my boss does or says, thought that this particular message today is very meaningful!

Words of wisdom indeed! Putting it into practice is yet another quantum leap that involves a lot of conscious efforts!
