Once upon a time, a group of 50 people attended a
seminar. Suddenly the speaker
stopped and started giving each person a balloon. Each
one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker
pen. Then all the
balloons were collected and put in another room. Now
these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the
balloon which had their respective names written on within
5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their names, pushing
and colliding with each other, and there was utter chaos.
At the end
of 5 minutes, no one could find their own balloons. Now
each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give
it to the person whose name was written on it. Within
minutes everyone
had their own balloons. The speaker began:
"This is exactly what is happening in our lives. Everyone is
frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing
where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of
other people. Help them Find their happiness and you will
get your own happiness too. And
this is the purpose of human life... Learn to put a smile on
one's face, and U will also smile in due season.
