"If you fail to take care of your own sweet, don't blame others for taking it."

A student ask a teacher, "What is love?"

The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the padi field and choose the biggest padi and come back."

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the field, go through first row, he saw one big padi, but he wonders, maybe there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one, but again, maybe there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the padi field, he start to realise that the padi is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted!!! So,he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, "This is love, you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have already miss the person."

"What is marriage then?" the student asked.

The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the corn field & choose the biggest corn and come back."

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "This time you bring back a corn, you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get. This is marriage."

So the student asked again, "Teacher, what is like when having affair after married?"

The teacher then said, "In order to answer your question, go to the lime farm. And choose the most beautiful lime before you come back again."

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

So after having the experiences of going to the paddy field and corn field, the student started to wonder, "what if I try to bring back as many as I can. I will sure get the nicest one." And so he did. But before he could finish the whole farm, he had already having two handfuls of limes in his hand. With no choice, he returned back to the classroom. When the student is back, the teacher saw the numbers of limes in his hand, and the teacher smiles.

"Having an affair when you are married. It is like the feeling when you are going to the lime farm. After having girlfs/boyfs and a wife/husband, you realised that it would be better to have more and better one then regret. All the women/man out there is seem nicer and prettier then your wife/husband. And it is easier to choose then before. Before you can finish the entire farm, your hands are filled. When you try to eat them one by one, the taste is getting more and more sour. Some of the lime are so sour that you cant take it. "

The answer is..."The numbers of lime you eat, is the numbers you wanted to try having affair, the taste when you start eating, it is what your marriage will be."

After asking so many questions, the student decided to ask one last question about relationship and marriage. So he asked the teacher again...

Student say: "I would like to ask one last question before I go. So what if ones is married but alone (MBA)"

Teacher explained. "If you have gone to a berry farm, choose and pick as many sweet berries as you can, when you are done, I will tell you what to do."

And so the student follows the instruction and did what he was told. After having a handful of sweet and nice berry, the teacher instructed the student to keep all the berry which he had and filled it into a opened jar. The student was told not to do anything about it for a week.

A week later....

When the student returns and asked for the result of the berries he had, the teacher showed him the place where he had the berries kept. The berry are beginning to rot and ants crawling all over it. The teacher said, "for a sweet marriage but without any care and love, it will start to rot. No matter how sweet it is or how fresh it was, time still take control. No matter how loving a couple used to be or how well they had get along, but after a long time without showing any care and concern, the marriage will rot." As the teacher was explaining, the student was looking at the ants crawling in and out of the jar.

The student asked again, so what is the ants about?

"Well, no matter how your berries will rots, there is still sweetness in them. If you fail to find out how sweet they are, there are still many more predators outside preying at your berries."

The teacher added, "If you fail to take care of your own sweet, don’t blame others for taking it."
