Divide it and flow it!



Our life should be divided into compartments like
• Social
• Work
• Home
• Personal
Recently I read a story which I want to share with you
There was a once a farmer whose farm house was very old. He called in a plumber to fix a tap. But when the plumber tried to open the nuts, he found they were all rusted. His wrench broke and then the rusted pipes broke. With great difficulty, he finished the job. By then he was a very tired man. He went to his truck and found that one of the tires was flat. That was the last straw. He was very angry and so he asked the farmer to drop him home. As they were driving the farmer noticed how angry and sullen the plumber was. Before the plumber rang the bell, he went up the tree outside the house, held a branch between his hands, bowed his head and lo! He was changed man. He ranged the bell, was greeted by his dog, children and his wife, each of whom he hugged happily. He laughed a lot, drank and ate a lot then it was the time for farmer to leave.
Before he sat in his car, the farmer said, “You were so angry before you did something to the tree. What was it that you did there? “ He said that he have two principle in his life. He never took his work problems home. As the farmer knows he had a tough day. So if he took his anger inside his house everyone would have suffered. So, he used to go to a tree every night and tie his bundle of problems that he had during g the day and then request to GOD to look after them for the night and then he will collect them in the morning. O the next day the bundles are few. His tiredness will be gone, his truck will be repaired, and his wrench will be replaced. So why should he bother his family?
Wow! isn’t it great, everyone should learn to divide their life in sections or compartments. It’s your life and your problem is yours so don’t go and start telling other people about yours. No one is interested, believe me. They have enough on their hands already. It would be very rude on your part and stress full for others if they are very polite and have to listen to your ravings. If you are upset and in a very bad mood. So not go to the party, if offloading is your aim. But if your am I to have a change of scene, where you will meet interesting people and you hope to forget your problem, then definitely go.
But no OFFLOADING, please!
