    Too Busy for a friend...






    One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest

    thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.






    It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.




    That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.





    On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments.



    No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.






    Several years later, one of the students was killed inVietNamand his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature .



    The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin .


    As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. 'Were you Mark's math teacher?' he asked. She nodded: 'yes.' Then he said: 'Mark talked about you a lot.'



    After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher .



    'We want to show you something,' his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket 'They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.'



    Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him .



    'Thank you so much for doing that,' Mark's mother said. 'As you can see, Mark treasured it.'



    All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, 'I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.'



    Chuck's wife said, 'Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.'



    'I have mine too,' Marilyn said. 'It's in my diary'



    Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. 'I carry this with me at all times,' Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: 'I think we all saved our lists'



    That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again .



    The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be. So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.



    And One Way To Accomplish This Is: Forward this message on. If you do not send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity to do something nice and beautiful. But its upto U to fwd this one .



    If you've received this, it is because someone cares for you and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care .



    If you're 'too busy' to take those few minutes right now to forward this message on, would this be the VERY first time you didn't do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships?



    The more people that you send this to, the better you'll be at reaching out to those you care about .



    Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own .

May Your Day Be Blessed As Special As You ! 有一天,老師問她的學生名單的姓名,其他學生在會議室的兩個紙,留下一個空間彼此的名字。然後,她告訴他們認為最好的

    事情可以說他們對各自的同學,它寫下來。






    它的其餘部分一流期間完成他們的任務,並作為學生離開了房間,每一個遞交了論文。




    這星期六,老師寫下的名字每個學生在一個單獨的一張紙,並列出每個人什麼說的,個別。





    星期一她給每個學生的他或她的名單。不久,全班在微笑。 '真的嗎? '她聽到小聲說。 '我從來不知道,我的意思任何人!和, '我不知道其他人喜歡我這麼多,大多數人的意見。



    沒有人提到這些文件再次在課堂上。她從來不知道如果他們討論他們課後或與他們的父母,但它沒有問題。這項工作完成了其目的。學生們高興自己和彼此。這一群學生動議。






    幾年之後,一名學生被打死inVietNamand他的老師出席了葬禮的特殊學生。她從未見過軍人在軍事棺木前。他看上去如此漂亮,如此成熟。



    教堂裡裝滿了他的朋友。一個接一個的誰愛他了最後步行的棺材。老師是最後一個祝福棺材。


    當她站在那裡,一個士兵誰擔任棺來到她跟前。 '你是馬克的數學老師? '他問道。她點點頭: '是的。然後,他說: '馬克談論你很多。



    葬禮後,大部分馬克的同學一起去了午餐會。馬克的母親和父親在那裡,顯然等待他說話的老師。



    '我們要告訴你的東西,他的父親說,考慮錢包了他的口袋裡,他們發現這對馬克當他被打死。我們認為您可能承認它。



    開放billfold ,他仔細取消兩個穿件筆記本紙,顯然已經錄製,折疊和复很多次。老師知道不看這些文件是那些關於她列出了所有美好的事物每個馬克的同學說他。



    '非常感謝你這樣說, '馬克的母親說。 '你可以看出,馬克珍惜它。



    所有馬克的同學開始聚集。查理而羞澀地笑著說, '我仍然有我的名單。這是在頂端的抽屜裡,我在家裡書桌。



    查克的妻子說, '查問我,把他在我們的婚禮相冊。



    '我有我太多, '瑪麗蓮說。 '這是我在日記'



    然後,維基,另一個同學,達成她的皮夾子,拿出她的錢包,並表明她的破舊和frazzled名單組。 '我把這一與我在任何時候,維基說,沒有擊球的睫毛,她繼續說: '我想我們大家都救了我們列出'



    這是當老師終於坐了下來,哭了。她哭了馬克和他的所有朋友誰不會再次見到他。



    密度的人在社會中是如此厚,我們忘記了生命結束的一天。我們不知道什麼時候,有一天會。所以,請告訴人們你愛和關懷,他們是特殊和重要的。告訴他們,以免為時過晚。

    [HIDE=1]Demasiado ocupado para un amigo ...

    Un día un profesor le preguntó a los estudiantes a lista de los nombres de los otros estudiantes en la sala en dos hojas de papel, dejando un espacio entre cada nombre. Luego le dijo a pensar de las más bellas

    cosa que podría decir acerca de cada uno de sus compañeros de clase y escribir abajo.

    Tomó el resto del período de clase para terminar su misión, y como los estudiantes abandonaron la habitación, cada uno entregado en los periódicos.

    Ese sábado, el profesor escribió el nombre de cada estudiante en una hoja separada de papel, y que se enumeran todos los demás lo que había dicho acerca de esa persona.

    El lunes dio a cada estudiante de su lista. Antes de largo, toda la clase estaba sonriendo. "¿En serio?" oyó le susurró. "Yo sabía que nunca quise decir nada a nadie!" y, 'yo no sabía que otros me gustaba tanto, "la mayoría de los comentarios.

    Nadie mencionó los documentos en la clase de nuevo. Ella nunca supo si ellos discutieron después de clase o con sus padres, pero no importaba. El ejercicio había cumplido su propósito. Los alumnos estaban felices consigo mismos y entre sí. Ese grupo de estudiantes avanzado.

    Varios años más tarde, uno de los estudiantes fue muerto inVietNamand su maestro asistieron al funeral de ese alumno especial. Ella nunca había visto un militar en un ataúd antes de militar. Esperaba tan guapo, tan maduro.

    La iglesia estaba llena con sus amigos. Uno por uno los seres que le dio un último paseo por el ataúd. La maestra fue la última para bendecir el ataúd.

    omo ella estaba allí, uno de los soldados que actuaron como pallbearer se acercó a ella. "¿Te Marcos profesor de matemáticas?" , se preguntó. Ella asintió: "Sí". Entonces dijo: «Marcos habló de que un lote".

    Tras el funeral, la mayoría de Marcos ex compañeros fueron juntos a un almuerzo. De la marca madre y el padre estaban allí, obviamente, a la espera de hablar con su maestro.

    "Queremos mostrarle algo", dice su padre, teniendo una cartera de su bolsillo "Encontraron esto en Marcos cuando fue muerto. Hemos pensado que quizás te lo reconozca. "

    Apertura del Dinero, se eliminan cuidadosamente dos pedazos de desgastado bloc de notas de papel que, evidentemente, ha sido grabada, plegado y refolded muchas veces. El profesor sabía sin mirar que los documentos fueron los que en ella se enumeran todas las cosas buenas de cada uno de la marca de clase ha dicho sobre él.

    "Muchas gracias por hacer que« la madre de Marcos dijo. "Como puede ver, Mark lo atesorado".

    Todos los de Mark ex compañeros comenzaron a reunir alrededor. Charlie no sheepishly sonrió y dijo, 'todavía tengo mi lista. Está en la parte superior del cajón de mi escritorio en casa. "

    La esposa de Chuck dijo, "Chuck me pidió para poner su boda en nuestro álbum."

    «Tengo el mío también", dijo Marilyn. "Está en mi diario"

    Entonces Vicki, otra clase, a que se había llegado en su bolsillo, sacó su billetera y mostró su desgastado y frazzled lista para el grupo. "Yo llevo este conmigo en todo momento", dijo Vicki y sin una pestaña de bateo, continuó: "Creo que todos guardan nuestras listas"

    Fue entonces cuando el maestro finalmente se sentó y lloró. Ella lloró por Mark y por todos sus amigos que nunca verlo de nuevo.

    La densidad de personas en la sociedad es tan espeso que olvidar que la vida terminará un día. Y no sabemos que cuando un día lo será. Así que por favor, dile a la gente que el amor y el cuidado de los, que son especiales e importantes. Diles que, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

    Y una forma de conseguir esto es: Envíe este mensaje a. Si no enviarlo, tendrá, una vez más pasó hasta la maravillosa oportunidad de hacer algo agradable y hermoso. Sin embargo, su hasta U FWD a este.

    Si has recibido esto, es porque alguien se preocupa por usted y que significa que hay probablemente por lo menos a alguien por quien usted cuida.

    Si estás "demasiado ocupado" para tomar los pocos minutos ahora que transmita este mensaje, que esta sea la primera vez que no hizo que poco cosa que hacer una diferencia en sus relaciones?

    El mayor número de personas que envíe a esta, mejor se le fuera a alcanzar a los que le interesan.

    Recuerde, usted cosecha lo que siembra. ¿Qué usted se pone dentro de la vida de los demás vuelve a su propio.

    Mayo su día se bendijo tan especial como usted![/HIDE]
