Worth

Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his fallen comrade back.




"You can go," said the Lieutenant," but don't think it will be worth it.




Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away."








"The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway.




Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend.




"I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded."




"It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier.




"What do you mean by worth it?" responded the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead."




"Yes Sir," the soldier answered,




"but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say....




"Jim...I knew you'd come."






*******




Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends on how u look at it.




Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in your life........

Little Johnny the Smart Salesman

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.




Little Mary led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "my sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."




"Very good," said the teacher.








Little Sally was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current events."




"Very good, Sally," said the teacher.




Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk "$2,467," he said.




"$2,467," cried the teacher, "what in the world were you selling?"




"Tooth brushes," said Little Johnny. "Tooth brushes," echoed the teacher, "how could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"




"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny. "I set up a Chip and Dip stand. I gave everybody who walked by a sample. They all said the same thing... 'Hey, this tastes like shit!'




Then I would say, "It is shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"
