Humble Spirit
The renowned
African-American educator Booker T. Washington exemplified the humble spirit.
One day as Professor Washington was walking to work at the Tuskegee Institute
in Alabama he passed the mansion of a wealthy woman. Not knowing him by sight,
she asked if he would like to earn a few dollars by chopping wood for her.
Without hesitation, Washington peeled off his jacket and went to work. He not
only cut a large pile of wood, but he also carried the logs into the house and
stacked them by the fireplace.
After Mr.
Washington left, a servant whispered to the woman, “I know you did not
recognize him, but that man is Mr. Booker T. Washington, the professor at the
Tuskegee Institute.” The next day the
embarrassed woman went to Professor Washington’s office and apologized
profusely. He replied, “It’s perfectly all right, Madam. Occasionally I enjoy a
little manual labor. Besides, it’s always a delight to do something for a
friend.”
Not long
afterward the woman showed her admiration by persuading some wealthy
acquaintances to join her in donating thousands of dollars to the Tuskegee
Institute.
“Living is the art of loving.
Loving is the art of caring.
Caring is the art of sharing.
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up
someone else.”
Booker T.
Washington,
(slave, educator,
author)
(1856-1915)
CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY:
What do you call a tree that doubts autumn?
Disbe-leaf.
