In 100 Words: What Do You See When You See People?
Tanmay Vora
I once read a story of a boy who found a bag full of dried clay balls when he was playing in the field. Not sure about what to do with them, he started throwing them in the pond to enjoy the ripples. Just then, he dropped one of the balls and saw a glittering diamond inside the ball. When he opened remaining balls, he found more diamonds. He regretted for the ones he threw.
Like clay balls, people around us are precious too. How often do we discount them just because we don’t see the hidden treasure within them?
