When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. ―Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope.

The headmaster seriously said, ―Thank you for your time‖, and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parentteacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around.

C Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daytoday life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life. He says our relation with others often bees clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are a very good friend.
