Ancient Story - On Attitudes

There were two good friends, The flowerwoman and The fisherwoman. Both selling flowers and fish at the market. One weekend, The fisherwoman invited The flowerwoman for a sleepover. At night, after talking for a long time they were tired and wanted to sleep. The fisherwoman fall asleep immediately, as she was sleeping in her home, but the flowerwoman could not fall asleep. She was tossing because of the smell of fish in the house. She woke up, and got a few flowers from her basket and put them on the table. The flowers' smell helped her easily fall asleep. Suddenly, The fisherwoman got up, wondering from where this awful smell was coming. “ I can’t tolerate flowers smell. “ She removed the flowers from the table. The fish smell again helped her fall asleep. NOTE: We engage in changing many things in life. We change our diet, look, car, house, friends, relationships, ... We eat superfoods. We create and learn different sophisticated theories to feel smart. We work hard to change others, but rarely we notice and approach our own attitude.
