When the students said yes, she poured some pebbles in that dribbled down the side of the rocks. When she asked again if the container was full, the students said Yes.... the teacher then added sand to the container which did the same... dribbled down by the side of the rocks and pebbles. When asked again, the students confidently said Yes this time only to be disappointed - she finally filled the container with water.</p><p>now imagine, if you had started (life) with water or dont recognize the rocks :)</p>MrinalSun, 28 Dec 2008 05:31:35 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/27/myBrotherOm.html#comment-4674379<p>So true!</p>Arek DreyerSun, 28 Dec 2008 02:19:15 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/27/myBrotherOm.html#comment-4671360<p>Bud Colligan once said something to me that resonates with Michael's notion of rubber balls and glass balls: "No matter how much you love your job, your job will never love you."</p>Michael Markman (Mickeleh)Sat, 27 Dec 2008 19:56:17 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/27/myBrotherOm.html#comment-4671385<p>That is SO true Michael.</p>daveSat, 27 Dec 2008 19:00:09 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/27/myBrotherOm.html#comment-4669641<p>“He who has health, has hope.

There's nothing going on here other than humans relating with other humans. All these tools and symbols are just ways to connect and communicate. Let's keep exploring and keep taking care of yourself Om! :-)</p>daveSat, 27 Dec 2008 14:33:23 -0000http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/27/myBrotherOm.html#comment-4668146<p>Dear Dave</p><p>Thanks for your kind words, not just today but through this past year.
