flowerpotman's cracked patio builders bucket
The old Somerset landscape gardener had two large patio builders buckets, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the buckets was a bit rusty and had a crack in it while the other bucket was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the often long walks from the water tap to the cement mixer, the cracked bucket arrived only half full. This went on over the many years of landscaping and patio building work together, with the landscape gardener tipping only one and a half pots of water into the cement mixer. Of course, the perfect builders bucket was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked bucket was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been paid to do. One day, after years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, during a trip to get water for the latest landscaping job in Bristol, the cracked builders bucket spoke to the landscape gardener "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to the cement mixer"
The old landscape gardener smiled and said: "Did you notice that there were always flowers growing on your side of the garden paths, but not on the other bucket's side?", "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path and every day while we walked back, you watered them."
The old landscape gardener went on: "For all these years I have been thanked by our clients, who long after we have loaded up our truck and gone, have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate there homes. Without you being just the way you are, the flowers could not have grown and made our customers extra happy with our work, and we would not have had so many of the "Google +1s" and Facebook likes that have helped keep us working, even during the recent tough times in the landscaping industry"
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You have more than earn't your pay, cracked builder bucket. Its me owes you !
