When God admits he still has a lot to learn from humans ;-)

A while ago my little brother, (well, not so little now :) took to sending us cousins a daily email with an anecdote highlighting a thought for the day. It was his way of helping us lead a better life. But as the big sister who knows-it-all, not always did I spend the time to read them. However his persistance paid off and now I've begun looking forward to getting these anedotal musings with their slight touch of humor at the everyday happenings around us.

Here are two such "My Time Musings"

============== (1) ====================

A man having no child, no money, no home, a blind mother, prays to God. 

God happy with his prayers, grants him only ONE wish! 

Man : I want my mother to see my wife putting Diamond bangles on my Child's hands in our new home! 

God : I still have a lot to learn from these humans !!

============== (2) ====================

A New York businessman dropped a dollar into the cup of a man selling pencils and hurriedly stepped aboard the subway train. 

On second thought, he stepped back off the train, walked over to the beggar and took several pencils from the cup. Apologetically, he explained that in his haste he had neglected to pick up his pencils and hoped the man would not be upset with him. "After all," he said, "you are a businessman just like myself. You have merchandise to sell and it is fairly priced."

Then he caught the next train.

At a social function a few months later, a neatly dressed salesman stepped upto the businessman and introduced himself.

"You probably don't remember me and I don't know your name, but I will never forget you. You are the man who gave me back my self-respect. I was a "beggar" selling pencils until you came along and told me I was a businessman. "
