Is it really so?

Hi guys,

Today I will tell you a story. It's a small story, but it makes me think a lot.

My wife and I live and work in a big city, and we usually go home on New Years holiday and other big holidays.

So, last New Year, we went home to my own house. After dinner time, my wife said to me:

"Your brother does gulp his saliva loud." She said to me.
"Yea, he always does that," I said. "I told him about that. But he never changes."
"But honey, you also gulp your saliva very loud."
"Heh? Really?"
"Yes, even louder than your brother," she said, smiling.
"Is it really so..."

It's not something big, but it really got me thinking...

How have I always been criticize my brother about his bad habit, when I have always had the same habit as his. And mine was even worse!

You know, in daily life, we usually too busy look at others, and especially their bad sides. We don't often look back at our bad habits. When we look at ourselves, we usually think that we are good, and we simply ignore what are bad. You see, my wife never minds someone gulping saliva loud. But I do find that to my dislike, and I told my brother about that. I never thought that I have the same habit.

This is just a small story I want to share with you. If you are the same as me in the story. Don't worry. There's nothing wrong about it. It's just that we should look into two more sides of things. They are the bad sides of ourselves, and the good sides of others.

So,
Our good side,
Our bad side,
Others' good side,
Others' bad side.

Did you hear about Yin-Yang theory?


It says that in everything exists two opposite sides. Light and Dark, Up and Down, Good and Bad.

Therefore, if you see a bad side in someone. Try to find a good thing from them.

Have a great day, guys!
