I love this story. Dr. Wayne Dyer shared it in his book, The Power of
Intention:
.
In Brooklyn, New York, Chush is a school that caters to learning-
disabled children. Some children remain in Chush for their entire
school career, while others can be mainstreamed into conventional
school. At a Chush fund raiser dinner, the father of a Chush child
delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended.
After praising the school and its dedicated staff, he cried out,
"Where is the perfection in my son, Shaya? Everything God does is done
with perfection. But my child cannot understand things as other
children do. My child cannot remember facts and figures as other
children do. Where is God's perfection?" The audience was shocked by
the question, pained by the father's anguish, and stilled by the
piercing query. "I believe," the father answered, "that when God
brings a child like this into the world, the perfection that he seeks
is in the way people react to this child."
.
He then told the following story about his son, Shaya.

Those are good stories:)
This one has made it's rounds on the net for ages but it's still worth
sharing in case you haven't read this one...
I try not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His
placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy.
But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee and wasn't...

Another story that I wanted to add to the list we probably all know
but still, it's worth remembering....
"Lest we forget...."
Sept 11, 2001 New York
The story of Zelmanowitz’s bravery had turned him into an American
hero. Four days after the tragedy, President George W. Bush asked the
American people to remember the extraordinary behavior of the Orthodox
Jewish computer expert who had worked at an insurance agency on the
27th story of one of the towers. Abe was a devout Jew, Ed a committed
Christian. They were fast friends. And on September 11th, they found
themselves on the 27th floor of one of the World Trade Center towers.
Zelmanowitz never married. He lived in Brooklyn close to his
brother, Yankel, and his family. He had worked at the same job for
many years. A year before the tragedy, Zelmanowitz visited Israel and
decided to buy himself a plot near the burial place of his parents.
Both parents had been born in Jerusalem, but emigrated after World War
I to the United States.

Xvxn though this typxrwritxr is an old modxl, it works wxll excxpt for
onx kxy. It is trux that thxrx arx 41 kxys that function wxll xnough,
but just onx kxy not working makxs thx diffxrxnce.
Somxtimxs it sxxms that an organization is somxwhat likx this
typxrwritxr, not all thx kxys arx working propxrly.
You may say to yoursxlf, "Wxll, I am only onx pxrson. I won't makx or
brakx a program." But it doxs makx a diffxrxnce bxcausx any program,
to
bx xfficixnt, nxxds thx activx participation of xvxry mxmbxr.
So thx nxxt timx you think you arx only onx pxrson and that your
xfforts
arx not nxxdxd, rxmxmbxr this typxwritxr and say to yoursxlf, "I am a
valuablx pxrson."
In case you didn't notice, I like quotes. I'm trying very hard to
give everybody some positive motivation to be just a little nicer,
show a little more compassion and treat people a little better. I
think it's a shame that people just want to cross post to cause
controversy and only post when they disagree with the author.

The Red Marbles
Barbara Miller was bagging some early potatoes for me. I noticed a
small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily
looking at a basket of freshly picked green peas. I paid for my
potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a
pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I
couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller and the
ragged boy next to me.
'Hello Barry, how are you today?'
'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas, they sure
look good.'
'They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?'
'Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time.'
'Good, anything I can help you with?'
'No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas.'
'Would you like to take some home?'
'No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with.'
'Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?'
