Things Are Not Always Black or White

In life, a lesson learned in your past that you will never forget
completely.

When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy
in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have
never forgotten the lesson learned that day.

I was convinced that I was right and he was wrong - and he was just as
convinced that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to
teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the
class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.

In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see
that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. White,
he answered.

I couldn't believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously
black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time
about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him
to come stand where I had been. We changed places, and now she asked me
what the color of the object was. I had to answer, White. It was an
object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was
white. Only from my side was it black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson learned that day You must
stand in the other person's shoes and look at the situation through
their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective
