A story

I heard a story on radio yesterday. The title is "I still have an apple."

A man was lost in a vast desert. Scorching hot, perch dry, isolated from civilisation. He was desperate, alone, frantic and lost for hope when he found an apple on the ground. He didn't eat it but kept it in his pocket as he carried on walking and walking..

There came a point in time when he was so thirsty that he wanted to eat the apple, but he didn't. He continued walking and walking until he was so exhausted and dehydrated that he felt he could go on no more. At this moment, he took out his apple and he told himself, "Hey, at least I still have an apple." With that, he mustered his last ounce of energy and pushed himself to continue walking.

As the journey proceeded, there were times when he wanted to give up but everytime, he would take out his apple and tell himself to go on because he still have the apple. Eventually, he found his way out of the desert...

Moral of the story, we will encounter many setbacks in life but we must always look at the positive side, look at the things we have, the "apples" in our lives and.. carry on living! No matter what, life goes on..
