Reform needs reformers.

People think that being a Minister gives you extreme power to do what you want. They are mistaken. The power lies within the bureaucracy of the institution. Even reform itself takes a long time and will not happen overnight. You need people within the institution to believe in reform so it will succeed, after all they have to carry it out. If reform is against their interests they will not support it. In matter of fact if the people working in the institution will not support what you believe as reform it will fail. You need the administration which follows you to believe in the same reform track otherwise they will change direction. So usually people are afraid of the future, but most comfortable with the present, because they know it and know how to deal with it. Any change may deprive them of interests or gains whatever they were. 

THE CRACKED POT: TO THE BLIND AMONG US

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. 

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full..

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. 

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. 

'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.'

The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot'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 walk back, you water them.'

For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. 

Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'

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've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

SO, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

Love, the Cracked Pot that sent it to you!!
