“A long time ago there lived three sisters. The first sister
was sad. When someone criticized her or ‘forgot’ to invite her to something,
she would walk away, let out a sad sigh and wonder why life was so bleak and
cheerless. The second sister was mad. She considered herself smart, funny, and
fascinating. But there always seemed to be someone smarter, funnier, or more
fascinating. Sometimes she clenched her teeth and thought, ‘Life is so unfair!’
Then there was the third sister. This sister loved to sing. She didn’t have
great pitch, but that didn’t stop her. The very fact that she kept singing made
her first sister sad and her second sister mad. Many years passed, and each sister reached the end of her time on earth. The first sister eventually
died sad. The second died mad. The third sister, who spent her life singing her
song with a confident smile on her face, died glad.” – President Dieter F.
Uchtdorf
