Soulmate
Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student. One day they were lying down under a big tree on a grassy plain. Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher, "Teacher, I'm confused, how can I find my soulmate? Can you please help me?"
Teacher: Silent for a few seconds, then he answered, "Well, it's a pretty hard and easy question."
Student: (Thinking hard) "Huh???"
Teacher: "Look that way, there's a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there, but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful blade of grass and pick it up, then give it to me. But just ONE blade of grass!"
Student: "Well, ok then... wait for me..." walked straight ahead on the grass field.
A few minutes later...
Student: "I'm back."
Teacher: "Erm, well I don't see any beautiful blade of grass in your hand."
Student: "On my journey, I found a few beautiful blades of grass, but each time I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any. 'Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back."
Teacher: "That's what happens in real life..."
What is the message of this story?
In looking for your soulmate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, 'cause remember "Time Never Goes Back."
It applies similarly in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career, or business opportunity.
The morale is:
LOVE & GRAB HOLD of the opportunity that you have. Don't waste time now - Go & get it now...
