from a short story i read;
a clay pot maker made a bundle of pots and set out to sell in the village.
on his way to the village,a few pots slipped and fell onto the hard ground.
the pots were smashed into many pieces.
however,the pot maker did not flustered or stop to look at his pots,
he merely walked on.
a passer-by then called out,"aren't you going to take a look at your broken pots?"
the pot maker replied,"why should i?they're already broken.what help will a look do for my broken pots?"
you see,many people will fluster and turn back to their setbacks.however,these actions are a mere waste of time and attention.
a meaningful lesson that allowed me to really stop and think how much time i've actually wasted.
as i say,been there,done that,move on. (:
