!!! The Cockroach Theory For Self Development !!!

At a restaurant, a cockroach. suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.She started screaming out of fear.With a
panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of
the cockroach.
Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but...it landed on another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started
wondering, was the cockroach
responsible for their histrionic
behavior?
If so, then why was the waiter
not disturbed?
He handled it near to
perfection, without any chaos.
It is not the cockroach, but
the inability of those people
to handle the disturbance
caused by the cockroach, that
disturbed the ladies.
I realized that, it is not the
shouting of my father or my
boss or my wife that disturbs
me, but it's my inability to
handle the disturbances
caused by their shouting that
disturbs me.
It's not the traffic jams on the
road that disturbs me, but my
inability to handle the
disturbance caused by the
traffic jam that disturbs me.
More than the problem, it's
my reaction to the problem
that creates chaos in my life.
Lessons learnt from the story:
I understood, I should not
react in life.
I should always respond.
The women reacted, whereas
the waiter responded.
Reactions are always
instinctive whereas responses
are always well thought of.
A beautiful way to
understand............LIFE.
Person who is HAPPY is not
because Everything is RIGHT
in his Life..
He is HAPPY because his
Attitude towards Everything in
his Life is Right!!
