It was worth it !

During First World War a soldier in the trenches saw his friend a hundred meters away stumble and fall in hail of bullets. He said to his officer, “May I go sir, and bring him in?” The officer refused, “No, I would lose you too”.
Disobeying the order, the man went to try and save his friend. They had been great friends throughout the whole war. Some how he got his friend on the shoulder and staggered back to the trenches but he himself was mortally wounded and his friend was dead.
The officer was angry, “I told you not to go”, and he said “Now, I have lost both of you. It was not worth it”. With his dying breath the man said, “It was worth it, sir” “Worth it!” queried the officer. “How could it be? Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded!”

Looking in his officers face, the guy said “It was worth it sir, because when I got to him he said “My friend I knew you would come!”

Farewell...

I was on a ship thinking of U...
when I looked down,
I dropped a tear into the ocean,
then I promised myself that,
until someone finds it I won't forget U.

"One more time!"
Live life.

Touch one heart.
Encourage one mind
and
Inspire one soul,

Height of Optimism

“Sir, we're surrounded!”
“Excellent. We can attack in any direction!”
--An Army Officer

BUSY

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work.
The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees
"Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!"
Very motivated for the boss’ words, the woodcutter try harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he try even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.
"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked.
"Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees..."

Your character

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those
who can do nothing for them or to them

If lately you have been telling others - How good your character is?
Ask yourself, judge it for yourself;
What good that you have done for others who cannpt do any food for you?
Make difference to all the lives you touch.
When you build your character, every deed counts!
