Seasons 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.

 The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

 When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.

The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

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.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

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.

Moral lessons:

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 and better times are sure to come some time or later.

First impression...hmmm...we all think as a recruiter that First impression is the best but we forget to think that later on we find such candidate worth nothing. Once when I was interviewing a candidate, the first impression he gave me with his dressing sense was great. Later on when he opened his mouth, I was dumb stuck...he was not at all fit for the job...

Business Environment also changes with time. We tend to blame our salespersons for making lesser sales, although the real reason may be lean season. This story should be circulated among all the CEO'S who are always after their sales Team

Good one....
It sends a message for us learn life....judge our life....

Somewher it also give a message about judging the people around...."can't judge a person from his one behaviour....many aspects of his/her behaviour in different situation displays the person's conduct....

Hope so.....this is agreed by others too....

Cheers,
Girish
