GREED: Life touching story

One day in a vocational center, the young men were having a farewell party to the graduating colleagues. There was going to be a big celebration of joy mixed with remorse for the exit of the part of fraternity. Upon realizing this the director organized for a last life advise to his students. But before he could do this he surprised the young men.
"You all here have reached the age of marriage and it would be best if you find the most beautiful, hard working and God fearing women. However if you were to be introduced to women for the first time, majority would choose beauty over anything else. It is normal gentlemen since you cannot know the character and the inner side of human on first sight. I therefore want to challenge you and so amongst you, you will choose the most handsome, bold and man of super taste. This particular young man will choose from the beautiful ladies I had organized to come here. They are twenty most beautiful girls in the district."The director said and walked out allowing them to decide on that one person.
It was hard since everyone wanted to be the one to have first chance of selection. Eventually the vote went to Dominic,  the well built basketball captain in the camp. As this was going on in room 19 situated at the third floor of the  AMUATARI building next to the main gate of the center, ladies could be seen enter one by one in through the gate carrying with them unexplained beauty. One after the other was a blessing from the almighty, touched by angels and holding the uniqueness from heavens above. All boys were drooling and wondering what would come out at the end of the search.

The ladies finally assembled and Dominic was called in to do the search but with condition. He was to select one lady only and that would be his wife. He was to walk and open the veil that covered their heads one by one and was not allowed to turn back. He was to go forward in his search.
One lifetime opportunity had come to Dominic and he walked to the first lady whom was extremely beautiful with a small gap between her teeth. This struck Dominic who had been watching them enter one by one without the veil. He thought to himself there could be a better one than her. He proceeded to the second lady but wasn't as beautiful as the first, then the next. However, reaching the 15th lady he realized each had a unique extraordinary beauty. This lady was one of her kind and could be the best suited for him so he thought.
However, he continued the search with the hope of getting one most beautiful than the rest. This continued till he unveiled the 20th lass who was the least in beauty among the twenty. He got disappointed and returned to room 19 where the director and the other boys waited. With regret he explained to the director what had happened.
Then the Director asked, " You liked the first one so much that if their were no other chances you could have taken her?" "Yes." He replied.
"Now that is what is called greed. You wished to have all of them for yourself. You left the good ones looking for a better one ending up losing the chance." The director noted.

Lesson
Life gives us chances and opportunities. Be it job, partner, business, education etc. But because of greed we dont appreciate what we have. We always want better. Better is hypothetical. This makes us loose the most precious things we have in search of better which might never be there.
STOP GREED. Appreciate what you have and get the optimum satisfaction out of it.
