Who's The Dummie?
(Author Unknown)
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his Customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you." The barber puts a five rupee coin in one hand and two one rupee coins (1+1=2) in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?" The boy takes the two one rupee coins and leaves. "What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!" Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take two one rupee coins instead of five rupee coin?" The boy licked his cone and replied, "BECAUSE THE DAY I TAKE THE FIVE RUPEE COIN, THE GAME IS OVER"
Think of this story the next time you interact with someone who you 'feel' isn't at the intellectual level that you are on. When you think another person is 'dumb', you are making a fool of yourself, because no matter how smart you think you are, you will never be able to fully evaluate another person's intellect. Never underestimate anyone, you will be surprised how much you can learn from people when you give them the chance to truly open up and express themselves. Don't block people off because you think you can't learn anything from them. Be inspired by others give them a chance and let the good people lead you to greatness.
May you have an awesome week full of patience and harmony with those around you.
