correcting mistakes

[Guest guest]

*Life is about correcting mistakes

**

Monica married Nick this day. At the end of the wedding party, Monica's

mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook with Rs.1000 deposit

amount.

 

 

Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage

life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life,

put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more

memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first

one for you today. Do the others with Nick.

 

 

When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

 

 

Monica shared this with Nick when getting home. They both thought it was a

great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:

 

 

* 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Nick after marriage

 

* 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Monica

 

* 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali

 

* 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Monica got pregnant

 

* 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Nick got promoted

 

* ..... And so on...

 

 

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things.

They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the nastiest

people in the world.... No more love....Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

 

 

One day Monica talked to her Mother: 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We

agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!! "

 

 

Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you

really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first.

 

 

Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all

money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor

marriage.'

 

 

Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue

and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look

at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory

of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were

then filled with tears. She left and went home.

 

 

When she was home, she handed the passbook to Nick, asked him to spend the

money before getting divorce.

 

 

The next day, Nick gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new deposit

of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how

much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've

brought me.'

 

 

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe. Do you know

how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe

the money did not matter anymore after they had gone thru all the good years

in their life.*

the place from where you slipped. Life is about correcting mistakes*. "
