If you were a sand...
Then be a high quality sand that free from the dust of sins, free from the mud of dishonesty and the acid of hypocrisy. Be a humble high quality sand that always remember where you came from and where you will be returned.
But when you are already a high quality sand, you should know where you put yourself. Don't care how great you are,you will be just an useless dust if you show off yourself on the glass of window….or You will annoy other if you show up proudly on the dinning table... or You will make other mad if you hide inside their food.
As a high quality sand you can't live alone. You are nothing if you are alone. You will be wiped out easily if you are stand alone. you do need to meet other sands.... But also don't just hang out only with your sands fellows, don't just be among your own tribe... [even if you are proud with them].
If you were a sand...
Don't be afraid with stones, perhaps they look so rough, angular, black, and ugly but you will need them more than you can imagine. Try your best to be friend with good stone, don't get deceive with their appearance because not all big stone with the smooth surface will be a great friend. The most important is they should be clean, hard, strong and free from the coating of clay.
If you were a sand...
Don't  be afraid with the "cements", perhaps they look too small and pale.Don't be jealous with the water if the cements always bring water between you and him. You should understand the cements will feel incomplete without the water. This is the rule in friendship you should not separate any other existing relationship. If you want be friend with cements, then you should try to love the water, you should consider them as one unity package.
Anyway... The water is not that bad. The otherwise his present will make your bond stronger. He will melt you all to be a strong mixture, like the bond of "faith" that will always melt all the differences….for the unity….... cant be separated anymore ... where is sand... where is stone.. .where is cements... all forgoten who they are because they are one now.
You will be more useful, Your quality as a single sand will increase greatly ... the unity change you become a stronger creature.You will able to carry very heavy burden.... You endure even in the high temperature... You will resist the high impact loading...
Then as a sand....
