Hope - Your Currency in Life
If there is 50% chance of winning, what will you do?

I posted this question to a group of Accountants in a recent meeting, their response was dependent on the reward one will receive to take this chance, and whether it is worthwhile to take it. And one person in particular will only take it if it is a sure win. Unfortunately uncertainty is the only certainty we have in life.

After receiving the first response, I clarified my question further and asked what if the reward is between life or death. Immediately the favorable response increased as the stake about one’s life is definitely higher and worth taking the chance. It is not about material good that one can buy or sell, it is about life!

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable.
Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets darksometimes, but morning comes. Keep hope alive.
