The most important Body Part


My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body? Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." 

She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." 

Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child." 

Then, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. 

My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?" I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me,

"This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson." She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder." 

I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?" 

She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it." 

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

This is my 3rd month with SFI and I am thrilled with what I am experiencing! SFI is helping people who never thought they could be entrepreneurs to learn all they need to start building a successful business on the internet. TripleClicks is a global marketplace which provides the opportunity for any type of business to market products or even services, through service vouchers. I am a serial entrepreneur, but I have never had so much fun starting a new business! And it has never been so easy, nor so low in capital investment! Entrepreneurs often feel lonely, because they don't have peers with whom to share their challenges and successes. SFI has created an incredibly supportive 'commercial network' where home-based entrepreneurs and executives of large companies can connect in a mutualistic manner, learning from one another, sharing experience with one another and helping to market one another's goods and services. Thank you Gery and team for building a platform where all of us can be successful, together!
