Dos mujeres, vivían una frente a la otra. Una de ellas, desde su ventana veía como su vecina todas las mañanas tendía la ropa en largos cordeles; y le hacia el cometario a su marido, mientras éste desayunaba: “Cómo es posible que la vecina saque a tender una ropa tan sucia, si yo lavara mi ropa me esmeraría porque quedara limpia. Pero si ésta mujer es desaseada en la ropa que tiende, ¿cómo tendrá la casa?”
Todos los días este mismo cometario. Un día, el esposo de la mujer negativa, se fue a trabajar más temprano que de costumbre. Cuando la mujer despierta, va a la ventana, esta ves, se queda paralizada por lo que ve, la ropa ya estaba tendida en el cordel y la ropa estaba blanca, resplandecía de lo blanco.
Ni bien llega el esposo en la tarde, le dice: “Mira por la ventana, al fin lavó bien la ropa, la vecina; mira esas sábanas, que blancura, nunca he visto unas sábanas más blancas”
El marido al insistente comentario de su esposa, le dice: “Esposa, ésta mañana mientras dormías limpié los vidrios de nuestras ventanas. Eran nuestros vidrios los que estaban sucios, no la ropa de la vecina”
Amigo, las personas negativas son aquellas, que siempre se adelantan a los hechos pensando en el lado oscuro de las cosas. La gente que siempre señala los errores de los demás.
Esta mujer pudo haber cruzado la calle hasta la casa de su vecina, si hubiera dejado de pensar negativamente, y le hubiese dado un cumplido sincero por esa ardua tarea que hacía todos los días. Al hacerlo hubiera ganado una buena amiga y se hubiera dado cuenta al estar fuera de su casa, que los vidrios de sus ventanas estaban sucios.
Amigo, comienza a ser positivo, mirando las cosas buenas de la vida y de las personas, ¡ahora! Por que ¡Hoy es tu mejor día, y mañana será mucho mejor!
Two Female Neighbors
Two ladies lived across the street from one another. One of them, from their house window watched everyday how her neighbor would hang clothes in their long clothesline. While her husband was eating breakfast she would comment: “How is it possible that the neighbor would hang such dirty laundry in the clothesline? I would at least make the effort to make sure our laundry would be clean. If this woman doesn’t put such effort in her laundry, I can’t imagine how the inside of her house would be?
Every day the lady would make such negative comments towards her neighbor. One day the husband of the lady who made negative comments towards her neighbor rose from the bed hours earlier than he was accustomed to. And when his wife woke up, she went to the window, this time, she froze because of what she saw, her neighbors clothes was already hanging from the clothesline and it was crisp white, shinning from its whiteness.
Soon after the husband arrived home that afternoon, she met him by telling him: “Look out the window, finally the neighbor put the effort in cleaning her laundry the right way; look at the linen, such whiteness, I have never seen linen as bright and white.”
While insisting her husband to look out the window, her husband said to her: “My dear wife, while you were sleeping this morning, I cleaned all of our windows. You know it was our windows that were not clean, not the neighbor’s clothes.”
My friend, negative people always place themselves ahead of the facts, and on the darker side of things. They’re always pointing at the mistakes of others.
This woman could have crossed the street towards her neighbor’s house if she would have stopped thinking negatively, and could have complimented her on her daily laundry efforts instead. In doing so she would have gained a good friend and she would have noticed that by being outside of her house that her windows were in need of cleaning.
My friend, start your day by being positive, looking at the bright side of life and people NOW; you ask why? Because today is your best day, and tomorrow it will be even better!
