OK….well time to get the ball rolling in here!
Grab a coffee, put your feet up and open your mind…….we’d like your thoughts!
In a book I was recently reading I came across a short story. It got me thinking. Here it is!
There is an old story about an impoverished man who found a one-dollar bill. As he looked at it, he thought to himself, “I’m thirsty and cold, I think I’ll get myself a cup of coffee”. As he was approaching the coffee shop, he thought, “When I buy my coffee, the money will be gone”. He thought about all the different things he could do with his dollar bill.
As he was pondering this, he looked down and saw a pencil on the ground, He thought, “If I buy some pencils, I could resell them and then have two dollars instead of one”. So he went into the stationary store and bought all the pencils he could afford for one dollar. Then he went out into the street and sold each of the 25 pencils for 25 cents each. He then had $6.25. He went back inside the store and bought all the pencils he could purchase for $6.25 and repeated the scenario. As the story continues, the moral is clear: You can either spend your resources or take care to use them discerningly.
So, being slightly more realistic here, say you were down to your last $100. How would YOU SPEND IT?
Lets hear some great outside the square ideas!
