Worth Reading

Too fast for life

~Unknown~



A successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit
too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from
between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his
car passed, no children appeared, instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's
side door! He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from
where the brick had been thrown.



He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a
parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what
the heck are you doing?!!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That's
a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did
you do it?!!"



"Please, mister, please, I'm sorry-I didn't know what else to do!" pleaded
the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop......."
Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked
car. "It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of
his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the
executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's
hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the young executive
lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his
handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything
was going to be okay. "Thank you, sir. And God bless you." the grateful
child said to him.



The man then watched the little boy push his brother down the sidewalk
toward their home. It was a long walk back to his Jaguar... a long, slow
walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not
to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get
your attention. Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart.



Sometimes, when you don't have the time to listen...Life throws a brick at
your head. It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for
the brick.
