Thought For The Day
Good Morning,___________________. This is ____________________ with a few words of wisdom. November’s theme continues to deal with “Giving/Generosity”. We all have heard of the famous scientist Albert Einstein. However, what many of us might not realize is that he was an advocate of helping those who were less fortunate then himself. He has said that: The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving. -Albert Einstein. By this quote Einstein was not talking about the “Theory of Relativity” also known as E=Mc2. Rather, he was speaking of more important concept: Helping and giving to others. With something to think about, this is _____________________. Make it a great day.
