[color =blue] The White Part of Life - What is it about? [/color]
One day, Professor John Morgan entered his
class and asked his students to prepare for a
surprise test. They all waited anxiously at
their desks for the exam to begin.
John handed out the exams with the text
facing down, as usual. Once he handed them
all out, he asked the students to turn over the
papers. To everyone’s surprise, there were no
questions– just a black dot in the center of
the paper.
The Professor, seeing the expression on
everyone’s faces, told them the following: “I
want you to write about what you see there.”
The students, confused, got started on the
inexplicable task.
At the end of the class, the professor took all
the exams, and started reading each one of
them out loud in front of all the students. All
of them, with no exception, defined the black
dot, trying to explain its position in the center
of the sheet.
After all had been read, the classroom was
silent.. Professor John Morgan smiled & said..
I’m not going to grade you on this, I just
wanted to give you something to think about.
I'm surprise no one wrote about the white part
of the paper which is bigger than the black
dot.
Everyone focused on the black dot – and the
same thing happens in our lives.
However, we insist on focusing only on the
black dot – the health issues that bother us,
the lack of money, hardships on campus,
disappointment with a friend....etc.
The dark spots are very small when compared
to everything we have in our lives, but they
are the ones that pollute our minds because
we give it too much attention.
Take your eyes away from the black dots in
your lives. Enjoy each one of your blessings,
each moment that life gives you. Be happy
and live a life filled with love, faith & hope!
That's what the white part of life is all about.
Enjoy the moment..Remember that our main
goal in life is
[b] not happiness, but goodness.
Not reputation, but Character.
Not wealth, but Virtue.
Not fame, but Faith.
Not the approval of men but God. [/b]
