Global Days of Unity
Post by Prince Ea
“Heading home this afternoon, I saw an older white woman lying flat out on the sidewalk on the corner of Peoria and 49th Street, with a young Asian woman trying to talk to her. I did a quick U-turn and pulled into the parking lot of Burger Street just as another car pulled in. I jumped out of my car at the same time that a young black man jumped out of his. We both did a quick check and found that the woman was using a walker and had fallen backwards hitting her head on the cement. I said I would call 911, the young black man went to his car and got a soft jacket and gently placed it under her head to shield her head from the scorching cement sidewalk (it was 100 degrees today). Soon other angels began to arrive. One young white woman got an umbrella out of her car to shield the woman’s face from the sun, another got towels out of her car to place under the woman’s bare arms. A young Hispanic employee from Burger Street came out with a bucket of clean, cool water and a rag to place on her forehead. We all: Black, white, Asian and Hispanic worked together to aid an older white woman who had fallen. This is the America I love and believe in. One with compassion, kindness, and love, regardless of race, age or sex.”

Your Values
A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a car I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.
The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because the said it looks pretty worn out.”
The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said, “The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old car.”
The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, it’s an iconic car and sought by many collectors”
Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you……Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.
Never!
