Let's talk about strategy today.
We are in Africa, at an African airbase. The writer Antoine de Saint-Exupe'ry made a collection amongst his friends to help a Moroccan clerk who wanted to go back to the city of his birth. He managed to collect one thousand francs.
One of the pilots flew the clerk to Casablanca, and when he returned, he described what had happened." As soon as he arrived, he went out to supper in the best restaurant, gave lavish tips, ordered drinks all round, and bought dolls for the children in his village. The man had absolutely no idea when it came to looking after his money"."On the contrary," said Saint Exype'ry, "he knew that people are the best investment in the world. By spending freely like that, he managed to regain the respect of his fellow villagers, who will probably end up
giving him a job.
After all, only a conqueror can be that generous." Thoughts? xx

ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated!
xxx.
I love those Zebras.
ReplyDeleteTake a rest.

Interesting. However, if one does not have a job, one can only give so much of what he has left. Must be a careful balance eh?
ReplyDeleteI do hope your headache goes away. Reading blogs can possibly wait. The computer screen might make it worse. I'd suggest a hot bath or shower to relax yourself, then crawl into bed with the light dim, perhaps a lamp, then watch a movie on low volume, just enough so you can hear it. Let your body and mind relax :D Works well for me!
Betty, the moral of that story is obvious and stated "People are the best investment in the world"
ReplyDeleteThanks, Secretia
I hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteGood story. Love the zebra photo! Take care of that headache!
ReplyDeleteMoney's good for something .. interesting story..
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better
