Greener grass proof


Why is it that:

The grass looks always greener on the other side of the fence?


Well, here's the final scientific proof.




Because you see the grass of your neighbor under a different angle (smaller) than your own grass (that's nearby), you relatively see more grass than the ground or irregularities between it.
So the grass of your neighbor is probably not greener at all.


It's the same with other things in your life. When you notice to many details or problems, you won't be able to enjoy or achieve things. Stick to the headlines and the important details, forget about the rest.


Enjoy looking under different angels at things in your life.
And don't forget to enjoy your own life-garden or that of your neighbor.

To enjoy things doesn't mean you have to own them.

Commitment or Contribution?


People often say that they are 'committed' because they are truly convinced that they are delivering 'their part of the job', their contribution.

But there's a great difference between commitment and contribution, that can be simply explained by the fable of Bacon and eggs.





Bacon and Eggs Fable


A pig and a chicken were discussing the essence of a farmer’s breakfast.
The chicken said “That's obviously 'Eggs'” and the pig said “It must be Bacon”.

After a long discussion the pig finally concluded, “When it comes to breakfast, you merely provide a contribution. I, however, make a full commitment.”

What about your friends or partners, do they make a contribution, offering lip service or are they really committed?

Find out and find the difference between real friendship and acquaintanceship.
