The cracked pot
 It is...

 A wonderful story...
 An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on
 the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.

 One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was
 perfect and always delivered a  full portion of water. At the
 end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot
 arrived  only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the
 woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

 Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
 But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and
 miserable that it could only do half of what it had been  made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to
the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this
 crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back  to your
 house."

 The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are  flowers
 on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?"
 "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower
 seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk
 back, you water them." "For two years I have been able to pick these
 beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way
 you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the  house."

 Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and
 flaws we each have that make our lives together so very> interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what
 they  are and look for the good in them.

 So, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and
 Remember to smell the flowers on your side of the  path!
 And send this to any or all of your cracked Pot friends with
 in 5 minutes and see what happens!
