"A well-to-do gentleman emerged from a boutique with a large shopping bag. As he strolled down the sidewalk, a frail man in tattered clothes approached him "Excuse me, sir, can you spare some change?"
"Why certainly," the well-dressed man replied. He reached into his pockets for...nothing. "Please forgive me," he said. "I have nothing to offer you right now." Then he turned away in embarrassment and walked back to the store.

But the fellow declined the money with a smile and said, "You have shown me kindness and respect. And that has made me a wealthy man."

You mean to tell me that you can take responsibility for an $80 million project and you can't plan two weeks out of the year to have some fun?"

"I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith. What is faith if it is not translated into action."
