In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year old boy entered a coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress comes by and put a glass of water in front of him.
“How much is an ice cream sundae?” asked the boy.
“50 cents,” replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. “How much is plain ice cream?” he inquired.
Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient. “35 cents,” she said annoyingly.
The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table, and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier, and departed.
When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what she saw. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 15 cents - her tip.
(What impressed me - I found this in one of the pure 'finance' blog)

Dear Brother ....This was just so beautiful ...
Indeed ! what a lesson of life
Beautiful. Now this is wot we call selflessness. Leaving something for someone else while u could have had it. Bacha hua maal dena to aasan hai magar apni zaroorat kam ker ke dena hi bari baat hai.
very true !!
