WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: “You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.”
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard….
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.”
There is an old saying “What goes around comes around.”

THE VIRGIN BUCKET

Once upon a time there lived a plastic bucket called Ewurama in the girls dormitory of Techiman Senior High School (TESS) house two(2), Ewurama was the prettiest, cleanest and on top of it all she was a virgin,  virgin in the sense that, she has never being used for bathing washing of clothes, cleaning of utensils, mopping, scrubbing or any sort of unclean activities, due to this everyone in the dormitory loved and adored her and for that matter other buckets in the dormitory envied her.

One night a girl woke up and was hungry so she decided to eat some biscuits after a couple of biscuits she got choked and started coughing, she fell on the floor and was suffering, Her dorm mates waked and tried to helped her, she needed to take some water but the taps were not flowing, after searching for a while to no avail one of the girls saw Ewurama at the corner or the room neatly kept and covered, she opened it and to her surprise there was clean water, she used a cup fetch some and gave it to her friend, after taken the water she stopped coughing and instantly became ok, all the girls in the dorm started cheering and they were all happy.

The next day how Ewurama saved the girls life became news on campus and everyone was talking about her, this made her very popular on campus even among the boys and the day students as well. Another time a girl needed to take her medicine at night but could not find water, once she saw Ewurama she knew she was save and lo and behold there was clean water so she took her medicine.

Due to the popularity of Ewurama girls in other house wanted to keep her in their room whiles girls in house two resisted, this brought about fight and quarrels among the girls for quite some time, it took the intervention of the girls prefect to solve the issue over which house to keep Ewurama, the prefect decide that the house two girls should have it since they discovered Ewuama but still there was tension among the girls so she decide to keep it in her room for some time and if anyone wanted to see her she have to go to the girls prefect room.

One day the girls prefect sent one of the first years to use Ewurama to fetch water for her on her way back to the prefects room the siren sounded for lunch time and since she did not want to be late for lunch because if you are late you late you will not be allowed to enter so she left Ewurama at a corner where she thought it was safe and went for lunch.

A first year lady was also punished to scrub one of the bathrooms alone so she decide to do it at lunch time, immediately they left for lunch she looked for a bucket and found none other than Ewurama, she was happy because it was already filled with water, she took it to the bathroom added some detergent and started scrubbing, after some time the girls returned from lunch, one of the seniors passing by the bathroom heard someone scrubbing so she peep into see who was there only to find the first year student using Ewurama for scrubbing, she shouted oh! No which attracted the attention of most of the girls in the dormitory so they rushed to see what was happening only to be hit by the news that the virginity of Ewurama has been broken, it was a very sad moment in the dormitory but what has happened has happened there was nothing anyone could do to reverse the situation.

Soon the news about Ewurama spread through the entire school, it became the talk on campus. Since that day people started to use Ewurama for all sort of chores, anyone can just take her and used her for washing, mopping, scrubbing and cleaning she became just like every other bucket in the dormitory.

The story of Ewurama the beautiful bucket can be likened to any girl that preserves her virginity but carelessly lose it to someone and from there guys will start coming in and out of her life but will never respect or cherish her, beware beautiful girls.

THE STORY OF A BLIND GIRL

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”

The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:

“Just take care of my eyes dear.”

This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.

THE POWER OF DETERMINATION (TRUE STORY)

A true story about athlete Glenn Cunningham who was horribly burned in a school house fire at the age of 8.Doctors predicted he would never walk again. Determined to walk, Glenn would throw himself off his wheelchair and pull his body across the yard and along a fence. Twenty-two months later, he took his first steps and through sheer determination, learned to run despite the pain…

The little country school house was heated by an old-fashioned, pot-bellied coal stove. A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived.

One morning they arrived to find the school house engulfed in flames. They dragged the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital.

From his bed the dreadfully burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die – which was for the best, really – for the terrible fire had devastated the lower half of his body.

But the brave boy didn’t want to die. He made up his mind that he would survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When the mortal danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly. The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in the lower part of his body, it would almost be better if he had died, since he was doomed to be a lifetime cripple with no use at all of his lower limbs.

Once more the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be a cripple. He would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just dangled there, all but lifeless.

Ultimately he was released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage his little legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever.

When he wasn’t in bed, he was confined to a wheelchair. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. This day, instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair. He pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him.

He worked his way to the white picket fence bordering their lot. With great effort, he raised himself up on the fence. Then, stake by stake, he began dragging himself along the fence, resolved that he would walk. He started to do this every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside the fence. There was nothing he wanted more than to develop life in those legs.

Ultimately through his daily massages, his iron persistence and his resolute determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk haltingly, then to walk by himself – and then – to run.

He began to walk to school, then to run to school, to run for the sheer joy of running. Later in college he made the track team.

Still later in Madison Square Garden this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run – this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world’s fastest mile**!
