There's a story that tells of two friends who were walking  through the desert.  During some point of the journey they had an argument. One friend slapped the other one in the face.

  The one who got slapped was hurt, and without saying anything, wrote in the sand:


 
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

 
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved her.

  After she recovered from the near drowning, she wrote on a stone:

  TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

  The friend who had been slapped and saved by her best friend asked, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"

  The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.  But when someone does something good for us, we should engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

  LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

  They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

  Maybe you would like to share this with the people you'll never forget. Sometimes we forget how important it is to let them know that you'll never forget them. Some people say "Take the time to live!" I say "Take time to Love".

  Do not Place value the things you have in your life.  But value who you have in your life!
And never forget that.... People feel about you... the way you make them feel about themselves!

If one falls down, his friend can help 
him up. But pity the man who falls 
and has no one to help him up!
