Before and After Enlightenment

A friend of mine told me about a Zen story she had read in the paper a couple of weeks ago. I did a little research on the internet a few minutes ago and found it...

"Before enlightenment, a man gets up in the morning, works in the field, comes home, sleeps with his wife and falls asleep. After enlightenment, the man gets up in the morning, works in the field, comes home, sleeps with his wife and falls asleep. In other words, ultimately, it does not matter what you experience but how you experience it and what you make of it."
