A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch in a cafe. He noticed that they ordered only one meal and an extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the chips. One for him, one for her, until each had half of them.

Then he poured half of the tea into the extra cup and set it in front of his wife. The old man began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap.

The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that they didn’t have to split theirs. The old gentleman said, “Oh, no. We’ve been married 50 years, and everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50.”

The young man then asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied, “Not yet. It’s his turn to use the teeth.”


Have a good weekend xx

The best psychological health comes from admitting your faults and recognizing they're caused by someone else.

Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
