Do You Remember Who Gave You Your First Break?
Someone saw
something in you once.
That's partly why you are
where you are today.
It could have been
a thoughtful parent,
a perceptive teacher,
a demanding drill sergeant,
an appreciative employer,
or just a friend who
dug down in his pocket
and came up with
a few bucks.
Whoever it was,
had the kindness
and the foresight
to bet on your future.
Those are two beautiful
qualities that separate
the human being
from the orangutan.
In the next 24 hours, take
10 minutes to write
a grateful note to the
person who helped you.
You'll keep a wonderful
friendship alive.
Matter of fact, take another
10 minutes to give
somebody else a break.
Who knows?
Someday you might
get a nice letter.
It could be one of
the most gratifying
messages you ever read.
