大樹上住著一隻喜鵲。它每天都為大樹唱頌歌：「你長得多麼高大，多麼挺拔！你的枝葉多麼繁茂，你的根系多麼發達！」這歌聲使大樹深深地陶醉了。

一天清晨，正在酣睡的喜鵲被一陣「當、當、當」的響聲驚醒了。喜鵲打著哈欠，從窩里伸出頭來四下張望。啊，原來是一隻啄木鳥落在樹幹上，不停地用它那又尖又硬的長嘴敲打著樹幹。

喜鵲老大不高興：「好個啄木鳥！原來是你打破了樹林里的寧靜，攪了我的好夢。真可惡！」

故事是這樣的，說一個島上有 100 個人，其中有 5 個紅眼睛，95 個藍眼睛。這個島有奇怪的規則。

1. 不准討論眼睛的顏色，大家既不知道自己眼睛的顏色，也不能告訴別人他眼睛的顏色。
2. 一旦有人知道了自己的眼睛顏色，就必須在當天自殺。注：雖然題設了有 5 個紅眼睛，但島民是不知道具體數字的。

某天，有個遊客到了這個島上。由於不知道這裡的規矩，對全島人說了一句話：「你們這裡有紅眼睛的人。」

結果，第5天，這個島上的 5 個紅眼睛全部自殺了。

為什麼會這樣？

閱讀全文 一個小故事，有點燒腦

I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes she is feeling in herself? She sent me the following:

• After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.
• I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
• I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
• I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.
• I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.
• I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
• I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”
• I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.
• I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.
• I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.
• I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.
• I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.
• I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.
• I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can’t we practice this at any stage and age?

The End.
