Opportunities mostly come with expiry dates
A rich man received a letter from an old friend who had fallen on hard times.
>> The letter pleaded for help – just a small loan to get back on his feet.
>> But the rich man was too busy with his affairs and set the letter aside, intending to respond later.
Months passed.
One evening, while sorting through his desk, the businessman found the letter.
>> Guilt struck him.
How could he have forgotten?
He immediately wrote a reply, apologizing for the delay and enclosing a generous cheque.
>> He mailed it that very night, relieved that he was finally making things right.
A week later, his letter returned – marked “Undeliverable. Recipient Unknown.”
Staring at the envelope, a cold realization settled in…
… he had waited too long!
… and now, no amount of money could fix what had already passed!
How many unopened “letters” – pleas for help…
… do we ignore daily?
