Loved these......
1. Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I'mworking on for my Psycohology class. When I asked her to define success inher own words, she said, "Success is when you look back at your life and thememories make you smile."------------------------------- 2. Today, I asked my mentor - a very successful business man in his 70s-what his top 3 tips are for success. He smiled and said, "Read something noone else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and dosomething no one else is doing."------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 3. Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to meat the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized Ididn't recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the mostsincere smile and said, "On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World TradeCenter."------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 4. Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the sideof the road holding him and crying. And just before he died, he licked thetears off my face.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 5. Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed the money, soI went into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flattire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A man ina BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job.I start tomorrow.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 6. Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around mymother's hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before shedied. She simply said, "I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like thismore often."------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 7. Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a smallhospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the firsttime I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 8. Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old daughter asked me to startrecycling. I chuckled and asked, "Why?" She replied, "So you can help mesave the planet." I chuckled again and asked, "And why do you want to savethe planet?" Because that's where I keep all my stuff," she said.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 9. Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast cancer patient laughinghysterically at her 2-year-old daughter's antics, I suddenly realized thatI need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 10. Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutcheswith my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me. Hehelped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving hesaid, "I hope you feel better soon."------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 11. Today, I was feeling down because the results of a biopsy came backmalignant. When I got home, I opened an e-mail that said, "Thinking of youtoday. If you need me, I'm a phone call away." It was from a high schoolfriend I hadn't seen in 10 years.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- 12. Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe. Hesaid he hadn't eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny andunhealthy. Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he waseating. The first thing the man said was, "We can share it.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- The best sermons are lived, not preached.------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- I am glad I have you to send these to.====================================================
