A CUP OF TEA STORY

I'd like to share a story. This is one of my favorite story I'd learned from my mentors when I was doing my traditional Network Marketing business. Here is the story of A CUP OF TEA:

There was a Zen Master.

Maraming tao ang gustong gusto magpaturo sa kanya it's because he always enlighten them in the way of Zen. Ito naman ay kanyang itinuturo sa mga tao madalas.

One day, meron isang lalaki na professor at napakagaling sa iba't ibang larangan ng buhay. Binisita niya ang Zen Master. Ito ang sabi niya, "Master, pumunta ako dito para magpaturo sayo about Zen to enlighten my mind.". The Zen Master smiled at sinabing magusap sila at uminom muna ng Cup of Tea.

The Zen Master get to served the cup of tea. Habang nilalagyan na ng Zen Master ang cup ng professor, ang dami daming tanong ng professor at ang dami niyang sinasabi na para bang ang dami niyang alam. Hanggang sa napuno na ang cup ng professor at napansin niya ito. Sabi ng professor, " Master, puno na po ang cup. Natatapon na po ito."

The Zen Master smiled at ito ang kanyang sinaabi, "You are like this tea cup, so full that nothing more can be added. Come back to me with an empty mind.”

The lesson of the story is to remind us of being humble. If we want to learn something, we have to LISTEN first. It's very important to have a good listening attitude.

P.S. Are you the kind of person who always feeling magaling? Yung feeling na alam mo na ang lahat? Ang tawag diyan ay AKNY (Alam Ko Na Yan). If you are one of this kind, then you can never learn and gain wisdom from others until you understand the importance of GLLA (Good Learning and Listening Attitude).
