PERCEPTIONS - Inspirational stories
<p>
There were two brothers in a small village in the Eastern Cape. The twin brothers grew up knowing nothing else but poverty. Their father was an alcoholic and their mother a domestic worker. They grew up with very little.<br><br>
On their way home one day, their parents were involved in a bus accident and died instantly. The brothers' condition became even worse. At age 17 they separated. Years and years later a family member decided to find them for a family reunion. <br><br>
One of the brothers was a wealthy engineer owning a construction company. He had a wife and three beautiful kids. The other was an alcoholic with no sense of direction for his life. <br><br>
The family member asked the engineer, "How did your life turn out like this?"<br>
"What did you expect with a childhood like mine?" he answered. <br><br>
She moved on to the other brother with the same question. <br>
"What did you expect with a childhood like mine?" was his answer. <br><br>
This tells us that, "men are not disturbed by the things that happened but by their perception of the things that happened".
