Once a
young couple move into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are
eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside the house.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said, "she doesn't know how to wash properly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent at that time. And every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments every time.
Round about one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look!!! She has learned how to wash properly. I am surprised and wondering who taught her this."
The husband said politely : "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!!!!"
And so it is with life of ours also :

And so it is with life of ours also :
"What we see when watching others depends on the
purity of the window through which we look them. Before we give any criticism to others, it
might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are
ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we
are about to judge."
