" Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student lying down
under a big tree near big grass area. Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher
Student : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Can you please tell me?
Teacher : (Silent for few second, than he answer) Well, it's a pretty hard and easy question.
Student : (Thinking hard) Huh ???
Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.
Student : Well, ok then…wait for me….(walked straight ahead to the grass field).
A few minutes later…..
Student : I'm back.
Teacher : Um, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand. Student : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any Cause you told me not to go back so I didn't go back.
Teacher : That's what happened in real life.
What is the message of this story?
*Grass - is people around you.
*Bueatiful Grass - is people that attract you.
*Grass field - is time.
*In looking for your soul-mate, please don't always compare and hope that there will be a better one... By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember "Time Never Go Back". It applies the same in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business, therefore the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time !
on the eve of her wedding day, i asked my eldest sister this question: what makes you so sure that he's THE one? that come tomorrow, you won't be meeting another man who MIGHT be the REAL one for you?? (okay, so i guess i'm not the ideal bridesmaid )
naalala ko lang...

I read something similar to this, but there was something additional to it, I'll try to recall it and fit your original story:
The teacher then sent the student out into the grass field once again with the same instructions. After a while the student came back, with an ordinary-looking grass blade in his hand.
The student explained that as he was walking, he remembered his mistake before so he grabbed a blade before it was too late. However, as he walked further, he realized that there were blades of grass more beautiful than the one in his hand. But he had already picked, so he couldn't get them anymore.

Hmm? Kai bat Disk 1 lang ang meron ka? XD joke!
Sabi nila pwede daw more than 1 ang soulmate mo. hmm..
Yung isang friend ko, may boyfriend siya. Ang tawag ng ibang friends namin sa boyfriend niya, kung hindi Mr. Snufflelufugus (sp?), Casper. Kasi siya lang daw ang nakakakita sa boyfriend nya, eh.
Hindi ba si Snuffy imaginary friend lang daw ni Big Bird kasi si Big Bird lang ang nakakakita sa kanya? Si Casper naman, pinipili kung sino ang pakikitaan.
