In one evening, a young lady was sitting at the airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Surabaya. One hour remaining from the flight schedule, she felt impatience, so that she began to make herself busy to spend the time at that lounge. Accidentally, she saw a machine which was located closely where the lady sit.
“The Wonder Machine” as it was written on it.
Curious to know what it was, she was approaching that machine and began to read the information that was posted aside the machine :
“Insert a coin to this hole and the machine will read about you.”
She inserted a coin and the machine began to say :
“Good evening, Your name is Jane, 166 cm high, 50 kg weight, and waiting for a flight to Surabaya”
She was shocked because all information the machine gave were extremely correct. Her curiousity culminated. She inserted a coin again, and the machine said :
“good evening, your name is still jane, 166cm high, 50 kg weight, and you are still waiting for a flight to Surabaya.”
In her curiousity, that lady was thinking, probably there was a camera on this machine so that the machine could recognize her clothes, so that, she went to the restroom to change her clothes and her make up.
With her new look, she inserted a coin into that machine, and the machine said :
“good evening, you are still jane, your height still 166 cm, your weight still 50 kg, but you have missed the flight 15 menit ago.”
~what have been told from the story above, always happen in our daily life. We never realize that we are often involved with the ego. Always wasting the chance, suspicious and impatience in waiting for success, without doing meaningful action to satisfy our ego. Whereas, success should be reached with patience, diligent, big effort and high motivation. Without all of that, certainly success will leave us, remember, success will be ours, if we always appreciate the chance~
