"The House of
1000 Mirrors"
Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place
known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little
dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he
arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway
of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears
lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To
his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other
happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as
his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000
great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the
House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place.
I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not
quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the
house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head
low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000
unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled
at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs
growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself,
"That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there
again."
All the faces in the world are
mirrors. What kind of
reflections do you see in the faces of the people you
meet? What reflection do others see when they look at you?

For instance a person with a hang’ed-computer will just come to me with
a look of concern in the face. Being a technical colleague, of coz i
helped with a smile and when the problem is solved, the word "thank
you" is written all over the person’s smile. Moreover such service often comes with a tip of "feeling-good-that-i’m-able-to-help" in my
heart.
Ever heard of this phrase?…"Smile and the world will smile with you" Cheers… my friends!!
