What's your problem?

Here's a good one,
A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.
Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and s o on until you get a response." That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his ",
wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response so, He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" ;

"James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!"


This is so true isn't it? Many times, the problem is NEVER with ourselves, but someone else. If only we would take time to look, we would see the plank in our eyes and not be asking someone else to remove the dust in theirs. One of the best way to form and secure good friendships, is to always check yourself first in all situations.... this can be applied even if you;ve lost something in the house or misplaced something in the office - check your trays or table first! Don't go asking someone else if they've taken it or make big claims that you don't have it!

What are you saying my dearest friend
I do hope you can say it once again
I may not have heard you the first time
And I want to ensure I hear your every line

I hope I have not blamed you all the days
When things go unexpectedly and totally wrong
I would try to check on my own beginning today
So that our friendship would last very very long

Bear with me if I keep pointing at the dust in your eye
Show to me, I do have a plank in mine
Remind me that "we" is when we add "You" and "I"
Let me know, so we will last forever divine
