    finally it’s 12 am and spring is here

    Have a nice spring codeigniters! spring time what does that mean? it’s the spring time of my life. a time of renewal I guess.

    I would like to share this helpful thought with you all

    Lessons on Life
    There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son, who went in the winter, said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son, who went in the spring, said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son, who went in the summer, disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son, who went in the fall, disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
    Moral:
    Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don’t judge life by one difficult season.

    Nice story but is spring really the best season of all? I like snow, i like new green, i like short skirts because of the heat and i like the falling of the leaves.

    Let me tell you a story.
    Because of a stupid accident i lost the ability to bend my legs. I wore a cast on each leg. But instead of laying in the bed all day or needing help to go to the toilet i found ways to be mobile. Ok i broke two toilets but that was the price i needed to pay for my progression.
    When i almost got out of my casts i went to a street festival. i guess a lot of people were laughing and i know a lot of people took pictures but i couldn’t care less because i was doing my thing.

    Lesson :
    Every season is a good season if you can picture a better future, live in the now and learn from the past.
