A letter of Paul Flanagan to his 2 children before he died from complications of skin cancer. I would like to tell these to my daughters too. Be courteous, be punctual, always say please and thank you, and be sure to hold your knife and fork properly. Others take their cue on how to treat you from your manners. Be kind, considerate and compassionate when others are in trouble, even if you have problems of your own. Others will admire your selflessness and will help you in due course. Show moral courage.

The workload started slow at first but it has since peaked up and I am now spending lesser time counting how many people pass by my work station daily. There have been wonderful opportunities also that came which I gladly and gratefully grabbed. I have met few good men and some 'not so good' ones. So far, I can say that the whole experience has been worth the risk of transferring from my previous employment.

A young man wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission. The farmer looked him over and said, "Son, go stand out in that field. I'm going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, y...
