One day, someone knocked at the door of a disabled (half-body paralyzed). It was a burly man who handed the disabled a letter that says:
To whom it may concern:
This is to appeal from your benevolence. The Christian Youth Organization, **** Chapter will have a fund-raising project for their annual Summer Basketball Fest which will be held on the first month of the second quarter of this year.
In this regard, we would like to solicit any amount which you would lovingly share. This will greatly help these teens develop love, camaraderie and unity.
Signed,
Chairman
Christian Youth Organization
Enraged, the disabled returned the letter and said, “Look, I am less than capable of earning money but I just don’t ask money. I work to be useful!”
The burly man went away without a word.

Sometimes we work for what we want and when the outcome turns out to be positive we’d feel happy about it.

hi, kyels. the outcome is not always positive but it’s okay as long as your worked your butt out for it. it’s not always the material benefit but the morale of self-reliance.
