Thoughts For The Day

"There are only two forces that unite men - fear and interest." ....Napoleon I

" Too many pray for peace with their fists clenched. "

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them

Motivation For The Day

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Personal Story Of The Day

Twenty years ago, a friend drove a taxi for a living. When he arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumstances, many drivers would just toot once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away. But, he had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of danger, he always went to the door. This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, he reasoned to himself. So he walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute", answered a frail, elderly voice. He could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80's stood before him. She was wearing a print dress and a fashion hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knick knacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware. "Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she asked. He took the suitcase to the taxi, then returned to assist the woman. She took his arm and they walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking him for his kindness. "It's nothing," he told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the wayI would want my mother treated." "Oh, you're such a good boy," she said. When they got in the taxi, she gave him an address, then asked, "Could you drive through the city?" "It's not the shortest way," He answered quickly. "Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice." he looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. "I don't have any family left," she continued. "The doctor says I don't have very long." He quietly reached over and shut off the meter "What route would you like me to take?" he asked. For the next two hours, they drove through the city. She showed him the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. They drove through the suburbs where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had him pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she'd ask him to slow down in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. As the first hint of sun was lighting the horizon, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now." They drove in silence to the address she had given him. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the taxi as soon as they pulled up. They were careful and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her. He opened the boot and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair. "How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse. "Nothing," he said. "You have to make a living," she answered. "There are other passengers," he responded. Almost without thinking, he bent and gave her a hug. She held onto him tightly. "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said. "Thank you." He squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind him, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. He didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. He drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, he could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if he had refused to take the job, or had tooted once, then driven away? On a quick review, he didn't think that the had done anything more important in his life. We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware--beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. There is nothing more precious than a human life. And even more so, when spirit filled.
