Love… The
Creative Force
The excerpt below is from Chicken Soup for the Soul, 1993
“Spread love
everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children,
to your wife or husband, to the next-door neighbor… Let no one ever come to you
without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness;
kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness
in your warm greeting.” Mother Teresa
A college professor had his sociology class go into the Baltimore
slums to get case histories of 200 young boys. They were asked to write an evaluation
of each boy’s future. In every case, the students wrote, “He hasn’t got a
chance.” Twenty-five years later another sociology professor came across the
earlier study. He had his students follow up on the project to see what had
happened to these boys. With the exception of 20 boys who had moved away or
died, the students learned that 176 of the remaining 180 had achieved more than
ordinary success as lawyers, doctors, and businessmen.
The professor was astounded and decided to pursue the matter further.
Fortunately, all the men were in the area and he was able to ask each one, “How
do you account for your success?” In each case the reply came with the feeling,
“There was a teacher.”
The teacher was still alive, so he sought her out and asked the old
but still alert lady what magic formula she had used to pull these boys out of
the slums into successful achievement.
The teacher’s eyes sparkled and her lips broke into a gentle smile.
“It’s really simple,” she said. “I loved those boys.”
