Do For Others…

A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were given 2 minutes to find their balloon. Despite a hectic search, few found their balloon.

At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Before one minute was over, everyone had their own balloon.

The teacher said to the students: “These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness... We’ll find ours too.

Be there for others during these tough times and you will be surprised by the positive outcome and the joy that you will receive.

Have a nice day, unless you have already made other plans…take care of yourself and others!
