A thirsty man sees a water pump in the middle of the desert. His water bottles are empty and he comes upon this pump. Tied to it is a hand-written note put there by someone before him. The note reads “I have buried a bottle of water to prime the pump. Don’t drink any of it. Pour in half of it to wet the leather. Wait, and then pour in the rest. Then pump. The well has never gone dry, but the pump must be primed to bring the water up. When you are through drawing water, refill the bottle and bury it in the sand for the next traveler.” Warning! You are going to be tempted to not believe this note and want to just consume the bottle. If you do, you’ll soon be thirsty again, and so will be everyone else that follows you!
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
Give it some thought and pass it on.
