Four Seasons
June 23rd, 2010 | By Yesi
I got this on my BBM and thought to share it with you…
There was 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 the summer and the youngest 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 said no, it was covered with buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with bloossoms 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 dropping 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 seaoson in the tree’s life. He told them that you canno 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 comes 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, fulfillment of your fall…
This message just happened to coincide with me reading about Dustin Brown , Jamaican Tennis player who overcame numerous challenges to make Wimbledon, and further reinforced the message.
I fuel myself in a similar way… so many times I have pondered why I do this. I guess I sense that the harshest winter chill is past, and I eagerly await the spring…

I love it. I remember growing up with stories like this. As a kid, I felt wiser each time I heard suh a story. Years after hearing such stories, events and occurences come to pass in which one can’t help but think back on these stories and use lessons learned from them.
I wonder how many Nigerian kids heard them growing up. But, more importantly, I wonder how many households in Nigeria still take the time to tell stories like these to children. These stories should be treasured. Not only do they impress little kids with their wisdom, they also foster a most important tool – an imaginative mind.
Firearm offering selling prices are up for the explanation that belonging on the obama terrify, but since it is in excess of firearm charges have reduced. He’s on the other hand increased the HAZMAT payment on all delivered ammunition by like 50%. I don’t forget the day time lk metropolis M855 was $5 a 20rd field. Now that is definitely approximately approximately $12.

Love your blog, it’s loading nice on my new Apple I-Pad, but on Linux browser your html is making your site load a little weird and hard to read.
The Obama Presidency can be quite a superb issue. Next he will get ousted straight away soon after only a solitary name, no Dumb-o-crat are certain to get again in there to get a quite prolonged time. A equivalent could possibly be real for an African United states Chief executive. Bigger sealed destiny of his social gathering for a long time.
