Fault-finder Vs Good-finder

An elderly woman was washing dishes one morning when a beautiful girl knocked at the back door, politely took off her hat, bowed and asked if she could help her prepare breakfast. The woman replied in harsh tones, "I have no patience with strange girls! I work for my living and you can work for yours! And if you don’t go away, I’ll call my husband." At that point the young girl said, "your husband is not at home." She was startled and asked, "How do you know that?" The young girl replied, "If he is home it’s because he is sick. He wouldn’t stay home with you unless he was sick."

The elderly lady shut the door, unable to finish washing the dishes. Her thoughts went back over the morning when she had scolded her husband and had not been kind to him the evening before. The next day she asked God to help her change her life. She changed from a ‘fault-finder’ to a ‘good-finder’. A much happier married life followed. —Zig Ziglar

 

 

Stop a while and yourself who you are.... Of course, I didn’t ask for your name, viz. ‘I’m Johney’, or ‘I’m Pinky’. No, again, I didn’t ask to which gender or species you belong, or your profession. I just asked, WHO ARE YOU? It’s not even about your soul. It’s about you, YOURSELF. It’s deep. It pries into the very essence of your existence. This question should drive you to the deepest chamber of your heart to know who you really are. After a tireless pursuit, once you’ve found the answer or at least felt the gravity of it, you’ve already won the hardest battle you ever fought in life and have solemnly entered the highway leading to a scintillating and successful personality.
