One day a teacher asked herstudents to list the >names of the other students in the room on twosheets of paper, leaving a >space between each name. Then she toldthem to think of the nicest thing >they could say about each of theirclassmates and write it down. It took >the remainder of the class period tofinish their assignment, and as the >students left the room, eachone handed in the papers. That Saturday, the >teacher wrote down the name ofeach student on a separate sheet of paper, >and listed what everyoneelse had said about that individual. On Monday she >gave each student hisor her list. Before long, the entire class was >smiling. 'Really?' sheheard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything >to anyone!' and, 'Ididn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the >comments.No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew >if theydiscussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't>matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy>with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on. Several>years later, one of the students was killed in Viet Nam and histeacher >attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a>serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, somature. >The church was packed with his friends. One by one those wholoved him took >a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one tobless the >coffin. As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted aspallbearer >came up to her. 'Were you Mark's math teacher?' he asked.She nodded: >'yes.' Then he said: 'Mark talked about you a lot.'After the funeral, most >of Mark's former classmates went together to aluncheon. Mark's mother and >father were there, obviously waiting to speakwith his teacher. 'We want to >show you something,' his father said,taking a wallet out of his pocket >'They found this on Mark when he waskilled. We thought you might recognize >it.' Opening the billfold, hecarefully removed two worn pieces of notebook >paper that had obviouslybeen taped, folded and refolded many times. The >teacher knew withoutlooking that the papers were the ones on which she had >listed all thegood things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. >Thank you somuch for doing that,' Mark's mother said. 'As you can see, >Marktreasured it.' All of Mark's former classmates started to gather >around.Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, 'I still have my list. >It's inthe top drawer of my desk at home.' Chuck's wife said, 'Chuck asked >meto put his in our wedding album.' I have mine too,' Marilyn said. 'It's>in my diary' Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into herpocketbook, >took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to thegroup. 'I >carry this with me at all times,' Vicki said and withoutbatting an >eyelash, she continued: 'I think we all saved our lists'That's when the >teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark andfor all his >friends who would never see him again. The densityof people in society is >so thick that we forget that life will end one day.And we don't know when >that one day will be. So please, tell thepeople you love and care for, >that they are special and important. Tell them,before it is too late. And >One Way To Accomplish This Is: Forwardthis message on. If you do not send >it, you will have, once again passedup the wonderful opportunity to do >something nice and beautiful. Ifyou've received this, it is because >someone cares for you and itmeans there is probably at least someone for >whom you care. If you're 'toobusy' to take those few minutes right now to >forward this message on,would this be the VERY first time you didn't do >that little thing thatwould make a difference in your >relationships?Remember, you reapwhat you sow. What you put into the lives >of others comes back into yourown. May Your Day Be Blessed As Special As >You Are>>>>>"Smile, it is the key that fits the lock ofeverybody's heart."
