Ego is your worst Enemy !!! Husband once quarreled with his wife at home. The couple refused to talk to each other after the quarrel. Three days later, Ah Too realized that he had to ask his wife to wake him up at 5.30 am as he had an arrangement with his buddies to go on a fishing trip. However, Ah Too did not want to lose the ‘cold war’ with his wife by talking to his wife first. So he wrote on a piece of paper, “Please wake me up tomorrow at 5.00 am. I am going fishing with my buddies at 5.30 am”. He then placed the paper on the kitchen table. He was sure his wife would read it. The next morning, Ah Too woke up only to find that it was already 9.00 am. His friends had left for the fishing trip without him. He was furious. As he was about to go and confront his wife for an explanation why she did not wake him up, he noticed a piece of paper on the bed. On it was written in large letters: “IT’S 5.00 AM. WAKE UP!” Reflection When the ego gets in the way during a conflict or quarrel, one may resort to a foolish strategy only to find out later that he has to bear undesirable results… a consequence of being ‘hit back’ by his own strategy
