A Brother like That
Many years ago, a small street urchin in search of work, shining shoes, stood outside an office building. As he waited a young, successful business man came out and went towards a brand new car. “Is that your car?” the urchin asked.
“Yes it is” came the reply. “My brother, who is very successful, just gave it to me as a gift.”
“Wow” exclaimed the urchin, “I wish.” And at that moment the business man knew, or thought he knew, what the urchin was going to wish for, that he too had a brother like that. The man was shocked when the urchin finished with, “Wow! I wish I could be a brother like that!”
Impressed with the young man, he asked if he would like to go for a ride. Of course, the urchin said yes and as they were driving down the road. The urchin turned toward the business man and said “Would you mind driving by my house?” And once again the young business man thought, Oh this young boy wants to show off for his friends and show them that he can ride in a fancy new automobile, but as they pulled up to his home the urchin jumped out and said, “Please wait a minute, sir.” A few moments later, he heard slow footsteps coming down the stairs and the urchin was carrying his young brother who was crippled from Polio and then the business man overheard this conversation that changed him forever.
The urchin said to his brother, “There it is buddy, there’s the car, and guess what? His brother bought it for him, and someday I’m going to buy you one just like it so you can see all the wonders that I tell you about as I go through the city!”
The young business man realized once again that he was wrong. He didn’t want to show off to his friends, he just wanted to give his brother hope for the future. He asked if they would both like to go for a ride and he helped the boys get in the car and together they drove around looking at all of the wonders of Christmas as he realized how much better it is to give then to receive, and that we can all become brothers like that.
Team, I sure appreciate each one of you because you are “brothers like that.” As we take up the mission to help other people with hope and happiness, we do fulfill our mission of creating a better life for others and for the generations to follow.
Let’s all go out, throughout this Christmas season and beyond, and share the message of Q Sciences and bring happiness into other people’s lives.
In addition, look for an exciting announcement coming before the end of the year related to automobiles and a debt reduction program!
Q it UP and Live Life eXponentially!
