Corporate Moral Story

A young and successful executive was going a bit too fast in his new car.Suddenly, a brick smashed into the car's side door! He applied the brakes and drove the car back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry man then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you?Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.Why did you do it?"

The young boy was apologetic. "Please mister ... please, I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to do," he pleaded.

"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."

With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.

"It's my brother," he said.

"He fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned 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 man understood the problem of the small boy. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his handkerchief and tried to wash his scrapes and cuts.

"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the man.
Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.  Now the man returned slowly to his car. The damage to the car was very noticeable, but he never bothered to repair the damaged side door.

He kept the door as its is to remind him of this message:

Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us.
It's our choice: Listen to the whisper ... or wait for the brick!
