From Paulo Coelho's Online Blog
At the Sceta monastery, the abbot Lucas gathered the monks for the sermon.
"May you never be remembered," he said.
"What do you mean?" replied one of the brothers, "May our example not help those who might need it?"
"In the days when everything was just, no one paid attention to exemplary people," answered the abbot. "Everyone gave their best, without pretensions, and so fulfilled their duty to their fellow men. They loved their neighbor because they understood that this was part of life, and they thought nothing of respecting a law of nature. They shared their possessions in order not to accumulate more than they could carry, since journeys last a lifetime. They lived together in freedom, giving and receiving, without demanding or blaming anything on others.
That is why their deeds were not handed down, and there is no story known about them."

My bet is that God isn’t going to ask us, “Have you been saved?” but “Have you been spent? And if so, on what?” —
Dear Potential Business Owner:
If you are like me, you've searched the Internet over and wasted lots of time and money with "get rich quick" businesses that turned out to be schemes. I've always wanted to start my own business that was LEGITIMATE and HONEST (and not a "pie in the sky" fairy tale). Well, I did it! I've officially started my own home business as an affiliate with SFI (Strong Future International). Here are some of the reasons why I decided to go with SFI:
* Their parent company has been around since 1985.
* It's free to get started.
* They're in over 190 countries worldwide.

* 24-hour support.
* Free training and free Website.

There's nothing to lose and everything to gain here, including more time with your family and more money in your wallet. It's well worth looking at SFI and investing in your future with us. For more information, see www.sfi4.com/12392488/
