Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
A Beautiful Story on the Power of Self-Control
A young woman boarded a train and noticed a man sitting in her reserved seat. Very politely, she checked her ticket and said,
“Sir, I think you are sitting on my seat.”
The man angrily pulled out his ticket and shouted,
“Look carefully! This is my seat! Are you blind or what?”
The girl quietly examined his ticket, chose not to argue, and calmly stood beside him.
A few minutes after the train started moving, she softly said,
“Sir, you are not sitting on the wrong seat… but you are on the wrong train. This train is going to Kolkata, while your ticket is for Mumbai.”
Some forms of self-control are so powerful that they leave people regretting their own behavior.
True strength lies not in raising one’s voice, but in maintaining calm and dignity. Self-control exposes the truth more effectively than anger ever can.
Sometimes,keeping silence is not weakness,it is strategic patience .
