I dint write this on my own but i thought its worth postin ....
Once there were 2 men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed each afternoon to remove the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs and so on.
Every afternoon the man sitting beside the window, passes the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
As the man by the window describing all the happenning in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, nurse saw the man beside the window , who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as they moved the dead body, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He slowly turned to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse, how did his roommate described such wonderful things from the blank wall.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

MORAL:
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. Smile a lot. It costs nothing. Keep smiling. Make others happy.
