The following message is very touching incident/lesson…Edwin
James
"Honey, I love
burnt roti."
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam:
"When I was a kid, my Mom cooked food for us.
One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long
hard day's work, Mom placed a plate of 'subzi' and extremely burnt roti (Indian
food) in front of my Dad.
I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt roti.
But Dad just ate his roti and asked me how was my day at
school.
I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember
I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for the burnt roti.
And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt
roti."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy, good night & I
asked him if he really liked his roti burnt. He wrapped me in his arms &
said: "Your mom put in a long hard day at work today and she was really
tired.
And besides... A burnt roti never hurts anyone but HARSH
WORDS DO!"
"You know beta - life is full of imperfect things...
& imperfect people...
I'M NOT THE BEST & AM HARDLY GOOD AT ANYTHING!
I forget birthdays & anniversaries just like everyone
else.
What I've learnt over the years is:
To Accept Each Other’s
Faults & Choose to Celebrate Relationships"
Life Is Too Short To
Wake Up With Regrets!
Love the people who
treat you right & have compassion for the ones who don't.
