Generous lawyer


A local United Way office realized that the organization 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 United Way rep mumbled, "Um ... no."


The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"


The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.


"or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"


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


On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"

[quote="Constantine"]To the Romans Sleep and Death were brothers[/quote]


Agree with Seema they are cuz we believe our soul leaves our body and enters the body when u wake up also when you suddenly jolt in your sleep thats when the soul re-enters the body.


Sleep and death are same in another context, they both can come at any time!

Not that you guys are not thankful...but just to remind u lol 😉


Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?


Be thankful when you don't know something

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.


Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.


Be thankful for your limitations

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.


Be thankful for each new challenge

Because it will build your strength and character.


Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.


Be thankful when you're tired and weary

Because it means you've made a difference.


It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also

thankful for the setbacks.


GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they

can become your blessings. 😛

Again today the heart is upset, upset

Wonder why it is overcast with depression

Again today there is water in the eyes

I am in the crowds yet why am I still alone.

Sand and Stone


A story tells that two friends were walking through

the desert. During some point of the journey, they

had an argument, and one friend slapped the other

one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt,

but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand


Today my best friend slapped me in the face.


They kept on walking, until they found an oasis,

where they decided to take a bath. The one who had

been slapped got stuck in the mire and started

drowning, but his friend saved him. After he

recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone


Today my best friend saved my life.


The friend, who had slapped and saved his best

friend, asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in

the sand, and now,

you write on a stone, why?"


The other friend replied "When someone hurts us,

we should write it down in sand, where the winds of

forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone

does something good for us, we must engrave it in

stone where no wind can ever erase it.


Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve

your blessings in stone.

Love by itself teaches one how to live,

In the name of loyalty it teaches one how to die.

If you have not loved then love,

It teaches to swallow tears with laughter.
