Who do you think you are?

Now, I am one of those people who hates forwards about the poor little so-and-so who lost this, the religious reference to that, or 'I love my friends' e-blast. However, when a friend sent me this, I thought I would share. See, The Collective is all about REAL PEOPLE. We aren't a status group that responds only to the socially elite. We deal with real people. Yes, it's great that you became the VP of Marketing at blahse-blah company; but you weren't always that, so don't forget. Read on below and enjoy. ~Blee

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, "If I could only see the world, I will marry you." One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by our side during our most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Until next time...

Be Seen at the Top! (but don't go stepping on people or forgetting who you are to get there)
