“How Often Could This Have Been YOU?”
Think Win-Win
By: Author Unknown
A man died and St. Peter asked him if he would like to go to
heaven or hell. The man asked if he could see both before
deciding.
St. Peter took him to hell first. There the man saw big hall
containing a long table, laden with many kinds of food. He
also saw rows of people with pale, sad faces. They looked
starved and there was no laughter.
And he observed one more thing: Their hands were tied to
four-foot forks and knives and they were trying to get the
food from the center of the table to put into their mouths.
But they couldn’t.
Then, St. Peter took him to see heaven. There he saw a big
hall with a long table, with lots of food. He noticed rows
of people on both sides of table with their hands tied to
four-foot forks and knives also. But here, people were
laughing and were fed and healthy-looking. The people were
feeding one another across the table.
The result was happiness, prosperity, enjoyment and
gratification because they were not thinking of themselves
alone; they were thinking win-win.
The same is true of our lives. When we serve our society,
our customers, our families, our employers and employees, we
automatically win.
