(i'm very addicted to this song, even mum cant stand it!!)
new skin as you can see, this is way nicer than the old one.
The attitude of giving (Keys to financial excellence)
The cookie thief
A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shop, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engross in her book, but happened to see, that the man beside her, as bold as could be, grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between, which she tried to ignore, to avoid a scene.
She read, munched cookies, and watched the clock, as the gutsy 'cookie thief' diminished her stock. she was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, 'If i wasnt so nice, i'd blacken his eye!"
With each cookie she took, he took one too. When only one left, she wondered what he'd do. With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke half.
He offered her half, as he ate the other. She snatched it from him and thought, 'Oh brother, this guy has some nerve, and he's also rude. Why, he didnt even show any gratitude!"
She had never known when she been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate, refusing to look back at the ' theiving ingrate'. She boarded the plane and sank in her seat, then sought her book, which was almost complete.
As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise: Ther was her bag of cookies in front her eyes!
'If mine are here,' she moaned with despair, 'then the others were his and he tried to share!' Too late to apologize, she realiszed with grief, that she was he rude one, the ingrate, the thief!

After reading this, I was like "WOW". It's like a revelation, I look at myself and see how selfish and self-centered i can get. So many times i feel like her and wanted to blacken someone eye. haha. Sounds funny but isnt it true? i bet you felt this way too.
Moral of story: Gotta be willing to give. period.
