SHARING "MY" COOKIES?

Imagine you're in London 's Heathrow Airport . While you're waiting
for your flight, you notice a kiosk selling shortbread cookies. You
buy a box, put them in your traveling bag and then you patiently
search for an available seat so you can sit down and enjoy your
cookies. Finally you find a seat next to a gentleman. You reach down
into your traveling bag and pull out your box of shortbread cookies.

As you do so, you notice that the gentleman starts watching you intensely.

He stares as you open the box and his eyes follow your hand as you
pick up the cookie and bring it to your mouth. Just then he reaches
over and takes one of your cookies from the box, and eats it! You're
more than a little surprised at this. Actually, you're at a loss for
words. Not only does he take one cookie, but he alternates with you.
For every one cookie you take, he takes one.

Now, what's your immediate impression of this guy? Crazy? Greedy?
He's got some nerve?! Can you imagine the words you might use to
describe this man to your associates back at the office? Meanwhile,
you both continue eating the cookies until there's just one left. To
your surprise, the man reaches over and takes it. But then he does
something unexpected. He breaks it in half,and gives half to you.
After he's finished with his half he gets up, and without a word, he
leaves.

You think to yourself, "Did this really happen?" You're left sitting
there dumbfounded and still hungry. So you go back to the kiosk and
buy another box of cookies. You then return to your seat and begin
opening your new box of cookies when you glance down into your
traveling bag. Sitting there in your bag is your original box of
cookies – still unopened.

Only then do you realize that when you reached down earlier, you had
reached into the other man's bag, and grabbed his box of cookies by
mistake. Now what do you think of the man? Generous? Tolerant?
You've just experienced a profound paradigm shift. You're seeing
things from a new point of view.

Is it time to change your point of view? Now, think of this story as
it relates to your life . Seeing things from a new point of view can
be very enlightening. Think outside the box. Don't settle for the
status quo. Be open to suggestions. Things may not be what they seem.
Unless and until,one realize about the fact, no one will change
his/her view of thinking in spite of lot of external factors.

........Every Point has 3-sides; Your Side, My Side & The Right Side.
To understand either the Other's Side or the Right Side, one needs to
leave His/Her Side.......
