Wisdom Nugget: Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future.

Fela Durotoye once defined the word "POOR" as
Passing Over Opportunity Regularly. Following that definition, the difference
between you and the fellow who always hangs around you for a hand-out is that
you maximized your opportunities and they didn't. Simply put, you could have
been them and vice versa. So instead of talking them down
and treating them despicably the next time they show up why not count your blessings; be thankful that you're in a position to give.
A story is told of Martin of Tours who met a beggar when he didn't have any money. But he noticed the beggar was freezing, and gave him what he had. He took off his soldier's overcoat, old and faded as
it was, cut it in half, and wrapped half around the beggar. During the night
Martin had a dream. He saw heaven opened, and Christ wearing half an overcoat.
One of the angels asked, "Lord, why are you wearing that shabby old
coat?" Christ answered, "Because my servant gave it to me." It
was only a dream.
It pays to give.
