What goes around comes around:
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer.
One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman\'s sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
\"I want to repay you,\" said the nobleman. \"You saved my son\'s life.\"
\"No, I can\'t accept payment for what I did,\" the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.
At that moment, the farmer\'s own son came to the door of the family hovel. \"Is that your son?\" the nobleman asked.
\"Yes,\" the farmer replied proudly.
\"I\'ll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he\'ll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.\"
And that he did.
Farmer Fleming\'s son attended the very best schools and in time, he graduated from St. Mary\'s Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman\'s son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time?
Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.
His son\'s name? Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone once said:
\"What goes around comes around.\"
Work like you don\'t need the money.
Love like you\'ve never been hurt.
Dance like nobody\'s watching.
Sing like nobody\'s listening.
Live like it\'s Heaven on Earth.
Friends:
Don\'t spend major time with minor people.
If there are people in your life who continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, are too judgmental, have different values and don\'t have your back during difficult times...that is not friendship.
To have a friend, be a friend.
Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go. Surround yourself with people who reflect values, goals interests and lifestyles.
When I think of any of my successes,
I am thankful to God from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends who enrich my life.
Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed, for the better.
At first, you think you\'re going to be alone, but after awhile, new people show up in your life that make it so much sweeter and easier to endure.
Remember what your elders used to say,
\"Birds of a feather flock together.
If you\'re an eagle, don\'t hang around chickens:
Chickens can\'t fly!\"
Value:
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, \"Who would like this $20 bill?\"
Hands started going up.
He said, \"I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.\" He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He then asked, \"Who still wants it?\"
Still the hands were up in the air.
\"Well,\" he replied, \"What if I do this?\" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. \"Now who still wants it?\" Still the hands went into the air.
\"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don\'t ever forget it!
