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 the
ladies 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.
