The black dot - this story can change your life

A professor surprises his class with a test. The task: Students should describe what they see on paper. When the students turn the page, they see a black dot in the middle of the white paper.

At the end of the lesson, the professor collects the answers and begins to read them aloud. All students - without exception - write about the black dot, its size, color and diameter. Then the professor explains:

None of you wrote on the white space on the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot? the same thing happens in our lives. We got a white paper to use and enjoy, but we focus on the dark spots.



The professor says that we often focus on our illnesses, money worries, and relationship issues. These dark spots are usually not that big compared to what else we have in our lives. And yet they cloud our entire mood.

He gives his students good advice:

Realize the black dots, but also pay attention to the white paper and the happy moments and opportunities in your life!

Whether the story of the professor and the black dot really happened that way, nobody knows. Much more important, however, is the message behind it.
