LIFE COMES IN NUMEROUS CHAPTERS. Infancy, childhood, youngster, teenager, college student, employed in various jobs and retirement. As a youngster the individual should be taught the VALUES OF LIFE, such as HUMILITY, ASSISTING OTHERS, COMPASSION, PEACE, EMPATHY, FAITH and TRUTH. Then throughout the other CHAPTERS OF THEIR LIVES, these VALUES are emphasized constantly. When going into the next CHAPTER think of the “footprints” you left behind. Then you can hold dear and treasure that you can NEVER UNDERVALUE THE DIFFERENCE YOU MADE AND THE LIVES YOU TOUCHED. ENJOY THE NEXT CHAPTER.
Imagine getting a THANK YOU phone call from someone you educated and put on track to a successful career 50 years earlier. The person, not making any contact for 50 years, calling at his retirement to say thank you. What a honor that phone call was.
It is not necessary to receive a phone call or a verbal thank you, although it is nice. Your knowing that you were the teacher the helping hand, is enough. Knowing that your VALUES OF LIFE assisted others to progress in their individual CHAPTER OF LIFE is an enormous feeling of achieving ONE’S OWN VALUES. ENJOY YOUR THE NEXT CHAPTER.
TAKE CARE, STAY WELL, STAY HEALTHY. HAVE FAITH. THANK YOU.
