---- Listen to Whispers

A successful executive was travelling down a neighborhood street,

going

a bit too fast in his new Honda. He was watching for kids darting out

from between parked cars and slowed down a little. He thought a while

to

get down to see anything wrong. But, He was in too hurry to see

something. He drove ahead.

As his car passed, no children appeared, instead, a brick smashed

into

the Honda's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Honda

back

to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of

the

car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up

Against a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are

you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam,

he

went on. "That's a new car

and That brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do

it?"

"Please, mister, please, I'm sorry - I didn't know what else to do!"

pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would

stop." Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around

The

parked car. "It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and

fell

out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy

asked

the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his

wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly Swelling

lump in his throat.

He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his

handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that

everything

was going to be okay.

"Thank you, sir. And God bless you," the grateful child said to him.

The man then watched the little boy push his brother down the

sidewalk

toward their home. It was a long walk back to his Honda...a long,

slow

walk.

He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not

to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you

to

get your attention.

Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes, when

you don't have the time to listen...Life throws a brick at your head.

It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for The

brick.

 Charity Begins At Home

A local charity office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.

"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"

The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"

Embarrassed, the rep mumbled, "Um...no."

"Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"

The stricken rep began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted, "Or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless withthree children?!"

The humiliated rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."

Following is a story or rather a fact I can say which

is really cool & one should try to adhere to !!

Please take some time to read !!

One big company was hiring new staff. The question of

 the written exam was : You are driving a car on one

big stormy night, u r passing a station, there are 3

people who are waiting for the bus; one old lady

who is dying, one doctor who saved your life before,

one young man/lady who is someone you have been

dreaming to be with. You can only take one

passenger, which one will you choose ?

Please explain your reason.

Think about it before you read the following ...

I am sure whether it is some kind of personality test,

since every answer has its reason. One lady is going

 to die, you should let her first, However, old people

always end up dying anyway, you should take

the doctor, because the doctor saved my life, this is

the perfect chance to pay him back. At the same time

some people believe that you can always pay the doctor

back in the future, but you may never be able to

find the perfect lover once you pass this chance.

So what is your choice ?

Now read the following :

Amoung the two hundered candidates, the one who was

hired did not explain his answer. He simply stated

that " give the car key to the doctor, let the doctor

take the old lady to the hospital & I stay to

wait for the bus with the man/lady of my dream !! "

What do you think ? A Great Answer right !!

We all realise that the above answer is the best

answer, but there is no one who thought of this answer

first. Is it because we never want to give up any

advantage we held in our hands (the car keys) ?

Sometimes, we would gain more if we were able to give

up our advantage. To get more, learn to give more.

cheers .........
