Milkman bequeaths

A milkman, who is dying in the hospital, is surrounded by his two sons, daughter, his wife and a nurse.

He says:

– To you, Peter, I leave the Beverly houses.

– To you, my dear daughter, I leave the apartments in the Los Angeles Plaza.

– To you, Charlie, being my youngest son with a large future, I leave the City Center offices.

– And you, my dear wife, the three residential buildings towers in downtown.

The nurse, impressed, tells his wife, “Madam, your husband is very rich

He is bequeathing many properties! You all are so lucky!!!”

And the wife retorts, “Rich??? Lucky??? Are you fucking kidding me!!!?? He is a Milkman!!! Those are his routes where he delivers milk !!!!”

6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
