Hola Amigos,
Got a very nice story to read today. Found it interesting enough to share -
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "50¢," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "35¢!" she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his 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 left.
When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies.
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
Small acts of courtesy and kindness lifts up your character.
There is nothing better which raises your moral than a motivating story. I know it cause I was grown up hearing many. So, will keep sharing such stuff and more thoughts as it comes across.
Hasta la vista!

Read few years back in "You can win". I appreciate the message, he tried to convey thru the story but dnt agree with the storyline thru which message has been conveyed.
I was never in favor of giving tip. It is form of bribing & alms....why to tip anybody for doing sth for which he is already getting paid and its his duty to do that. Any person of self respect should never accept such tip.
