The Rose Within-----From Youdao
Hot 5
A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.
He saw the bud that would soon blosssom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "how can any beautifu flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?" saddened by this thougt, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom...it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the throns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns ,the defects.
We despair,thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the throns of anoher, and find the rose within them.
This is the characteristic of love... to look at a person, and knowing his faults, recognizing the nobility of his soul,helping him to realize he can overcome his faults. If we show him the "rose" within himself,he will conquer his throns. Only then will he blossom many times over.

- No one is perfect in the world. We all know this but we still can't bear the shortcomings of ourselves. It would be better if we be kind to our disadvantages, and promote ourselves as much as we can. Maybe it's our imperfect that makes our.
