Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life A Story with a Moral
Lessons of Life:There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly.
So he sent them each on a QUEST, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. Lessons of Life
Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring,
the third in summer,
and the youngest son in the fall.
Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life The 1st son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The 2nd son said no, it was covered with green buds and was full of promise.
The 3rd son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet & looked beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed; he said it was ripe & drooping with fruit, full of life & fulfillment.
Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life He told them that you cannot judge a tree or a person by only one season and by the essence of who they are.
The pleasure, joy and love that comes from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life If you give up when it's WINTER
You will miss the promise of your SPRING,
The beauty of your SUMMER
And fulfillment of your FALL.
Lessons of Life:Lessons of Life Moral of the Story
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches.
Better times are sure to come some time or later…
