Different Seasons

Got this Inspiring Story from a friend through email and MooMoo found it very interesting so would like to share it out. It's very TRUE when you apply it to LIFE.

These pictures were taken at the same place with the same landscapes but at different seasons.

>> STORY on the DIFFERENT SEASONS In LIFE

There was once, 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 by one season. There is the harshness of Winter, the promise of Spring, the beauty of Summer,and the fulfillment of Fall.


Moral of the story:
-------------------
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.

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.

* Come to think of it... SG and MY only have 1 season throughout the year... OMG!!! Meaning have to go through the same season for the whole full year, whether it is GOOD or BAD and hope it will be better the next season which is next year... Hahaha!!! =p
