HAPPY WAYS OF SEEING

THE WORLD

.....

What comes to my mind is the picture of the elephant and 5 blind men were asked to touch different parts of the elephant, one touches the legs, one touches the big ears, one touches the trunk (nose of elephant), one touches the body and the last one touches the tail. Each of them believes they are right and indeed they are RIGHT. However, they only see a part of the whole thing, thus to see the whole thing together, perhaps we should combine what we know to form a more accurate picture. A HAPPY WAY OF SEEING THIS ELEPHANT IS THAT IT SHOWS US THAT WE CAN ALL BE RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME, WHY LET OTHERS DECIDE FOR US, SIMPLY BECAUSE OUR ANSWER MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST.

Now sit back, relax and let JIMMY CHUA use his imagination to show you how any picture he has chosen in this book can incorporate HAPPY WAYS OF SEEING THE WORLD.
