A little inspirational story

A short inspirational story, translated into English.

(Na hrvatskom ispod engleskog teksta)

A young woman is waiting for her flight to board at a large airport. In order for the time to go by a bit more quickly, she decides to buy a book and a small pack of cookies. She takes a seat in the VIP waiting area so that nobody bothers her.

Next to her is a small table with the pack of cookies, and next to that sits a man reading a newspaper. When she's about to take a cookie, the man takes one.

She's shocked but doesn't say anything and continues to read her book. She thinks to herself, "Wow, look at this. If I were a bit braver, I would have hit him by now." Every time she takes a cookie, the man, not caring at all, also takes one.

This continues until there is only one cookie left, and the girl thinks "I wonder what'll happen now!" The man takes the last one and divides it in two! "This is really too much" she begins to say, shocked, and grabs her things and makes her way towards the exit of the waiting area. When she feels a bit better, after the anger has passed, she sits down at an empty place to avoid having another uncomfortable encounter. She closes her book and opens her purse to throw it in...and in that moment sees the package of cookies she had bought, unopened.

Ashamed and feeling like a thief, she finally got that the cookies were not hers, but that they belonged to the man sitting next to her, who had calmly offered to share his last cookie with her, totally unlike her, who was hurt by her own pride and feelings.

Conclusion: How many times in our lives will we or have we eaten someone else's cookie, but didn't know it? Before drawing a quick conclusion or thinking something bad, LOOK at the details carefully. Very often the situation isn't the way it looks at first glance!

In life there are 5 things that you can't get back:

1. A stone once it's been thrown.
2. A word after it's been spoken.
3. An opportunity after it's been lost.
4. Time which has passed.
5. Love which was not fought for.

Words to live by:

1. Work like you'll never need money.
2. Love like you've never been hurt by love.
3. Dance like nobody's watching.
4. Sing like nobody's listening.
5. Live as if heaven were on earth.

Djevojka je čekala avion u čekaonici jednog velikog aerodroma. Pošto je trebala dugo čekati, odlučila je kupiti knjigu da bi joj

Vrijeme brže prošlo. Kupila je knjigu i paketić keksa. Sjela je u čekaonicu VIP da je nitko ne bi uznemiravao.

Pored nje je bila stolica sa keksom, a sa druge jedan gospodin koji je čitao novine. Kad je ona počela uzimati keks i gospodin je uzeo jedan.

Ona se šokirala, ali ništa ne reče i nastavi čitati knjigu. U sebi je pomislila "ma gledaj ti ovo, da samo imam malo više hrabrosti, do sada bih

ga već udarila..." Svaki put kad je ona uzimala jedan keks, čovjek pored nje, ne obazirući se ni na što, je uzimao isto tako jedan.

Nastavili su tako dok nije ostao samo jedan u paketu i djevojka pomisli: "Baš me interesira što će sad uraditi!!!" Čovjek uze posljednji i podijeli ga na dvoje! "Ovo je zaista previše " - počne govoriti šokirana, uze svoje stvari, knjigu, torbu i ode prema izlazu iz čekaonice. Kada se osjećala malo bolje, nakon što ju je prošla ljutnja, sjela je na mjesto gdje nije bilo nikoga da bi izbjegla neke druge neugodne događaje. Zatvori knjigu i otvori torbu da je ubaci .............. U tom trenutku ugleda paketić keksa još uvijek netaknut.

Postidje se kao kradljivac i tek tada shvati da je keks isti kao njen bio od gospodina koji je sjedio pored nje, ali koji je, bez šokiranja,nervoze ili

prepotencije, podijelio i svoj posljednji komad sa njom, totalno suprotno od nje, koja se čak osjećala povrijeđena u vlastitom ponosu i osjećajima.

ZAKLJUČAK: Koliko puta u našem životu ćemo ili smo pojeli tuđi keks, a da to nikad nećemo ili nismo ni saznali? Prije nego što se dođe do brzopletog zaključka i prije nego što se počne misliti loše:

GLEDAJ sa pažnjom detalje, vrlo često situacija nije onakva kako izgleda nama na prvi pogled!!!!

U životu postoji 5 stvari koje se ne mogu vratiti:

- Kamen kad je bačen;

- Riječ nakon što je izrečena;

- Mogućnost nakon što je izgubljena;

- Vrijeme kad je prošlo;

- Ljubav za koju se NE BORI.

Jednom je netko rekao:

Radi kao da nikad nećeš imati potrebu za novcem.

Voli kao da nisi nikad patio od ljubavi.

Pleši kao da te niko ne gleda.

Pjevaj kao da te nitko ne sluša.

ŽIVI KAO DA JE RAJ NA ZEMLJI.
