A concerned husband went to a doctor to talk about his wife. "Doctor, I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time and always asks me to repeat things."
"Well," the doctor replied, "go home and tonight and stand about 15 feet from her and say something to her. If she doesn't reply move about 5 feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so that we'll get an idea about the severity of her deafness."
Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen as she is chopping some vegetables and says, "Honey, what's for dinner?" He hears no response. He moves about 5 feet closer and asks again, No reply. He moves 5 feet closer, Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!" you deaf bugger and if you ask me again, maybe i'll change my mind and you ain't getting any.
It happens a lot of times when we feel that the problem is with others and we blame them on self interpretations rather than finding out the cause and effects of a problem, but in actuality the problem could lie with us.We often think that we are near perfect and that we are doing the right thing and put all our energy and thoughts in finding faults with others rather than thinking of solutions to correct ourselves, we also often do it to cover up our wrongdoings in front of other.
We must learn to accept failure and be ready to identify faults within us before pointing a finger on others. We must learn to identify our problems before someone backfires at us as it will be too late to go back and correct ourselves and too late to repair burnt bridges with people around us. So learn to accept faults within you and don’t blame others, and if you still haven’t learned you might become a joke like the one above.
