Are you happy with what you are?
A very successful Banker parked her brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to her colleagues. As she opened the door, a truck came along, and completely tore off the driver's door!
The banker immediately grabbed her phone, hit speed dial for 100, and had the policeman there in # minutes. Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the banker started screaming hysterically. She had just picked up the Lexus the day before, and now it would never be the same, no matter how good a job the body shop does. After the banker finally wound down from her rant, the cop shoock his head in disgust and disbelief. " I can't believe how materialistic you bankers are," he said. "You are so focued on your possessions that you don't notice anything else." " How can you say such a thing to me" she responded indignantly. The cop replied, "You didn't even notice that your arm is missing from the elbow down! It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."
" OH, NO! screamed the banker in shock. "Where is my Rolex?!"
Be happy with what you are not with what you have like the banker.
I find the story a bit funny and good thing her Gucci bag wasn't ripped from her shoulders or else she would have gone more hysterical. However, I really liked its lesson. Its the sad truth, material things matters to almost everyone on this world. People tend to forget the real value of life because of these toys.
