A man was asked to paint a boat.

He brought his paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright
red, as the owner asked him.

While painting, he noticed a small hole in the hull, and quietly repaired it.

When he finished painting, he received his money and left.

The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a nice check, much
higher than the payment for painting.

The painter was surprised and said “You've already paid me for painting the boat Sir!”

“But this is not for the paint job. It's for repairing the hole in the boat.”

“Ah! But it was such a small service... certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for
something so insignificant.”

“My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened:

“When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole.

“When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip.

“They did not know that there was a hole. I was not at home at that time.

“When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate because I remembered that the
boat had a hole.

“Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning from fishing.

“Then, I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole!

“You see, now, what you did? You saved the life of my children! I do not have enough money to pay
your 'small' good deed.”

So no matter who, when or how, continue to help, sustain, wipe tears, listen attentively, and carefully
repair all the 'leaks' you find. You never know when one is in need of us, or when God holds a pleasant
surprise for us to be helpful and important to someone.

Along the way, you may have repaired numerous 'boat holes' for several people without realizing how
many lives you've save. ❤️

Make a difference....be the best you...even an extra job that’s not include to your job do it. It is not all
about the money its about help.
A young couple moved into a new neighborhood.

The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the
washing outside.

"That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better
laundry soap."

Her husband looked on, remaining silent.

Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.

A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband,
"Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life… What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through
which we look.

So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy,
negativity or unfulfilled desires.

"Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are."
A father said to his son: You graduated with honors, here is a car that I acquired many years ago ... it is
several years old.

But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see
how much they offer you.

The son went to the used car lot, returned to his father and said, "They offered me $ 1,000 because it
looks very worn out."

The father said, "Take him to the pawn shop."

The son went to the pawn shop, returned to his father and said, "The pawn shop offered $ 100 because
it was a very old car."

The father asked his son to go to a car club and show them the car.

The son took the car to the club, returned and told his father: “Some people in the club offered $
100,000 for it, since it is a Nissan Skyline R34, iconic car and sought after by many.

The father said to his son, "I wanted you to know that the right place values you the right way." ...

If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means that you are in the wrong place. Those who know your
value are those who appreciate you, and never stay in a place where no one sees your value.
One cold night, A billionaire met an old poor man outside. He asked him, "don't you feel cold being
outside, and not wearing any coat?" The old man replied, "I don't have it but I got used to that." The
billionaire replied, "Wait for me. I will enter my house now and bring you one. " The poor man got so
happy and said he will wait for him.The billionaire entered his house and got busy there and forgot the
poor man. In the morning he remembered that poor old man and he went out to search for him but he
found him dead because of cold, but he left a NOTE, "When I didn't have any warm clothes, I had the
power to fight the cold because I was used to that. But when you promised me to help me, I got
attached to your promise and that took my power of resisting.

MORAL: Don't promise anything if you can't keep your promise. It might not mean anything to you, But
it could mean everything to someone else.
