While surfing the internet for interesting stories, I came upon a blog called Marc and Angel Hack Life. There was a particular post that got my attention, “101 short stories that will leave you smiling, crying and thinking.”
This post came from their sister site “Make Me Think” (MMT) where people post these amazing short segments that will do more than make you think.
I wanted to share just a few of these “segments” and encourage you to follow the link above to read more.
1.Today, I stopped to chat with the office janitor like I do every Monday morning on my way into work. And at the end of our conversation he grinned and said, “You know, you’re the only one who ever stops to talk to me around here, and you’re the President and CEO.” MMT
2. Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, “Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile.” MMT
3. Today, I interviewed a woman who is terminally ill. “So,” I tried to delicately ask, “What is it like to wake up every morning and know that you are dying?” “Well,” she responded, “What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you are not?” MMT
There is so much for us to ponder and think about that can change our perspective on life…..
Enjoy your Friday everyone!
