The professor told the students. “I want you to write about what you see there.” The confused students got started on the task. Twenty minutes later, the professor took all the papers. After a quick look, he began to read each one of them aloud. They all described the black dot, trying to explain its position and so on.
“I’m not going to grade you. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone paid more attention to the black dot and the same thing happens in our lives.” the professor said.
“Our life is like a gift. We always have reasons to celebrate being alive and healthy, the beauty of nature, our friends, the job that provides us a way to make a living and so on. However, we keep focusing only on the dark dots, such as the health problems, the family arguments, the disagreements with friends and so on.”
