[Quote No.49423] Need Area: Work > Service
"A happy human face - it is the gift that may be made by poor or rich, by old or young. It is the gift to which all are entitled, with which all are pleased. It is written in a language all can read, and carries a message none can refuse... How glad we all are to welcome sunny
souls! We are never too busy to see them. There is nothing we welcome so much as sunshine. 'The cheerful heart makes its own blue sky.' We all know how the very landscape seems to laugh with us when we rejoice, seems to
exult with us when we are glad, and the very sun and the flowers seem to reflect our joy. But when we are melancholy and blue all nature takes on the same expression, and while, of course, there is no real change in nature, yet to us this apparent change is tremendous.
When we lose the power to smile, what hideous images arise in the mind! How soon the imagination becomes morbid! The mind becomes infested with doubts and fears, and hallucinations when its activity ceases. When the purpose is gone, disorder comes in; when joy goes out, melancholia enters. If there is anything we need in this too serious civilization of ours, it is men and women who smile always. It costs no more to wear a smile than to go about with a thunder - cloud expression, - and what a difference it will make to you and everybody who sees you! Everybody we meet is helped or hindered by what we radiate. It makes all the difference in the world whether we go about with a smiling face or wearing a frown!!" - Orison Swett Marden
(1848-1924) Quote from his book, 'The Joys of Living'.

[Quote No.49487] Need Area: Work > Service
"Many highly respected philosophers and psychiatrists believe that the ultimate reason we do anything is to be happy. Therefore it may be the wisest, most intelligent and most moral thing you can do to explicitly make your highest life goal to consistently be one of the happiest people you know and to continually increase the level of happiness each year for yourself, those you love, and those you serve through work [for example by improving and using all the imaginative advice for all the need areas, especially fun, on the imagi-natives website]!!

[Quote No.51534] Need Area: Work > Service
"[A story - with a message about serving others and the 'Golden Rule' of ethics, namely treating others as you would like to be treated: in the form of ‘the long spoons allegory’. This story in various forms is found in the cultures of BUDDHISTS, CHRISTIANS, HINDUS, JEWS and ORIENTALS:]
I once ascended to the firmaments. I first went to see Hell and the sight was horrifying. Row after row of tables were laden with platters of sumptuous food, yet the people seated around the tables were pale and emaciated, moaning in hunger. As I came closer, I understood their predicament. Every person held a full spoon, but both arms were splinted with wooden slats so he could not bend either elbow to bring the food to his mouth. It broke my heart to hear the tortured groans of these poor people as they held their food so near but could not consume it. Next I went to visit Heaven. I was surprised to see the same setting I had witnessed in Hell – row after row of long tables laden with food. But in contrast to Hell, the people here in Heaven were sitting contentedly talking with each other, obviously sated from their sumptuous meal. As I came closer, I was amazed to discover that here, too, each person had his arms splinted on wooden slats that prevented him from bending his elbows. How, then, did they manage to eat? As I watched, a man picked up his spoon and dug it into the dish before him. Then he stretched across the table and fed the person across from him! The recipient of this kindness thanked him and returned the favor by leaning across the table to feed his benefactor. I suddenly understood. Heaven and Hell offer the same circumstances and conditions. The critical difference is in the way the people treat each other. I ran back to Hell to share this solution with the poor souls trapped there. I whispered in the ear of one starving man, 'You do not have to go hungry. Use your spoon to feed your neighbor, and he will surely return the favor and feed you.' 'You expect me to feed the detestable man sitting across the table?' said the man angrily. 'I would rather starve than give him the pleasure of eating!' I then understood God's wisdom in choosing who is worthy to go to Heaven and who deserves to go to Hell." - Rabbi Haim of Romshishok
He was an itinerant preacher. He travelled from town to town delivering religious sermons that stressed the importance of respect for one's fellow man. He often began his talks with the story... ‘Narrative of the allegory’. Also described in a similar fashion in Lord, Shiva.

[Quote No.51542] Need Area: Work > Service
"[A story - with a message: every obstacle in our path is an opportunity to grow for the good of all.] The Rock in the Road -
In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.
Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way to make the way easier for all to travel. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road to make the road free of obstacles for everyone. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand:- every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's own condition and help others!" - Unknown

[Quote No.51581] Need Area: Work > Service
"[A story - with a message about win-win co-operation and helping each other:] - The Parable of the Long Knives, Forks and Spoons.
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 and the man saw a big hall with a long table, lots of food on it and music playing. 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 knives, forks and spoons and they were trying to get the food from the center of the table to put into their mouths. But they couldn't. Then, he went to see heaven. There he saw a big hall with a long table, with lots of food on the table and music playing. He noticed rows of people on both sides of the table with their hands tied to four-foot knives, forks and spoons also. But he observed there was something different here. People were laughing and were well-fed and healthy-looking. He noticed that they were feeding one another across the table. The result was happiness, prosperity, enjoyment, and gratification because they were not thinking of themselves alone. The same is true of our lives." - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about reciprocity and getting what we give.] A Pound of Butter -
There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, 'I am your Honor.' The judge asked, 'How do you weigh the butter?' The farmer replied 'Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. Therefore if anyone is to be blamed, if the butter is less than a pound, it is the baker.'
What is the moral of the story? We get back in life what we give to others!" - Unknown

"[A story - with a message: even if you can’t do it all, or even a lot, at least do what you can to help others:]
The Starfish -
There was a man taking a morning walk at or the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, ‘What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?’ This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, ‘It makes a difference to this one.’ " - Unknown
