I am surprised that I received this email from a business associate from India. For more than 2 years, I never receive email from her which is not connected to work.
Anyway, I find this a good comparison...Please read on...
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat
field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back
to pick."
The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat,
but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later.
Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger
one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to
realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he
know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand. The teacher
told him, "...this is love... you keep looking for a better one, but
when later you realise, you have already miss the person...."*
*"What is marriage then?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn
field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you
can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to
repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he
has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the
teacher.
The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a corn.... you look for
one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best
one you get.... this is marriage."*

This morning I encountered something which I find it ridiculous yet funny.
Lynn passed aunt susan (cleaner) 3 HWM for her to dispose as they are October issue. Lynn actually walked passed me asking if I want, but I rejected and after just less than 5secs, I regretted my decision and ran after her into the pantry.
Aunt susan was holding the magazines and I told her I may want them. She stretched out her hand and spread the magazines like a fan. I wanted to take them from her to select, but she is holding on to them like "a billion dollars" in her hand and refused to let go.
I have no chance but to glance through them and take the thinnest magazine, which is Singapore HWM. Seriously, I think I nearly smashed her dreams to earn extra few cents from garang guni!!!
Anyway, I cannot understand why she acted like that and I hate her for being so kpo and always "eavedrop" on our lunch topic when Joo and myself are eating in pantry. Imagine the whole pantry only 3 of us. She will stand there to wash a cup for quite a long time, then when done, she will just stand there to listen to our conversation and laughed at the slightest funny thing that we said. HELLO!!!!!! AUNT!!!!!!!!!WHERE IS YOUR MANNER!!!!!!!!
