Feeling Unappreciated?

August 20, 2018 by Bob Kelly

Do bank tellers close their windows just before it’s your turn? Do panhandlers on the street offer you money? Were you on Mother Teresa’s enemies list?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, consider the following:

“Xvxn though thx kxyboard on my old computxr has startxd to show a lot of wxar and txar, it works vxry wxll – xxcxpt for onx kxy. You would think that with all thx othxr kxys functioning propxrly, onx kxy not working would hardly bx noticxd, but just onx kxy out of whack sxxms to ruin thx xntirx xffort.

You may say to yoursxlf: “Wxll, I’m only onx pxrson. No onx will xvxn noticx if I don’t quitx do my bxst.” But it doxs makx a diffxrxncx bxcausx, to bx xffxctivx, xvxry organization, whxthxr it bx a businxss, an association, a nonprofit agxncy, a church, a txam or a social club, nxxds activx participation by xvxry onx to thx bxst of his or hxr ability.

So thx nxxt timx you think you’rx not important, or that your xfforts arxn’t nxxdxd or apprxciatxd, rxmxmbxr my old kxyboard. You arx indxxd a kxy pxrson.”

In Other Words: “Today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you.” ~ Dr. Seuss
