motivation,

kindergarten teacher decided to
let her class play a game.
The teacher told each child in the
class to bring along a plastic bag
containing a few potatoes.
Each potato will be given a name
of a person that the child hates.
So the number of potatoes that a
child will put in his/her plasticbag
will depend on the number of
people he/she hates.
So when the day came, each child
brought some potatoes with the
name of the people he/she hated.
Some had 2 potatoes; some 3
while some up to 5 potatoes.
The teacher then told the children
to carry with them the potatoes in
the plastic bag wherever they go
(even to the toilet) for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the
children started to complain due
to the unpleasant smell let out by
the rotten potatoes.
Besides, those having 5 potatoes
also had to carry heavier bags.
After 1 week, the children were
relieved because the game had
finally ended...
The teacher asked:
"How did you feel while carrying
the potatoes with you for 1
week?".
The children let out their
frustrations and started
complaining of the trouble that
they had to go through having to
carry the heavy and smelly
potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the
hidden meaning behind the
game.
The teacher said:
"This is exactly the situation when
you carry your hatred for
somebody inside your heart. The
stench of hatred will contaminate
your heart and you will carry it
with you wherever you go. If you
cannot toler ate the smell of rotten
potatoes for just 1 week, can you
imagine what is it like to have the
stench of hatred in your heart for
your life time???"
Moral of the story:
Throw away any hatred for
anyone from your heart so that
you will not carry bad odour for a
life time.
Forgiving others is the best
attitude to take!
