有兩種選擇擺在你面前：聆聽心靈的聲音或者等待磚頭降臨！

有時你會忽略深愛的人，那是因為你在生命的道路上行進太快，而無暇考慮是否真的愛他們？“The　Brick”　in　Life

Anonymous

A　young　and　successful　executive　was　traveling　down　a　neighborhood　street；　going　a　bit　too　fast　in　his　new　Jaguar。　He　was　watching　for　kids　darting　out　from　between　parked　cars　and　slowed　down　when　he　thought　he　saw　something。

As　his　car　passed；　one　child　appeared；　and　a　brick　smashed　into　the　Jag’s　side　door。　He　slammed　on　the　brakes　and　spun　the　Jag　back　to　the　spot　from　where　the　brick　had　been　thrown。

Sobbing；　the　boy　asked　the　executive；　“Would　you　please　help　me　get　him　back　into　his　wheelchair？　He’s　hurt　and　he’s　too　heavy　for　me。”

Moved　beyond　words；　the　driver　tried　to　swallow　the　rapidly　swelling　lump　in　his　throat。　He　lifted　the　young　man　back　into　the　wheelchair　and　took　out　his　handkerchief　and　wiped　the　scrapes　and　cuts；　checking　to　see　that　everything　was　going　to　be　okay。
