A Room Full of Balloons


Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.


Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He

started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her

name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and

put in another room.


Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon

which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically

searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around

others and there was utter chaos.


At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.


Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to

the person whose name was written on it.


Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.


The speaker began— exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is

frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their

happiness; you will get your own happiness.


And this is the purpose of human life.
