A story tells that two friends were walking
through the desert. During some point of the
journey they had an argument, and one friend
slapped the other one in the face. The one
who got slapped was hurt, but without saying
anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST
FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis,
where they decided to take a bath. The one who
had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he
wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED
MY LIFE."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best
friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote
in the sand and now, you write on a stone,
why?" The other friend replied: "When someone
hurts us we should write it down in sand where
winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But,
when someone does something good for us, we
must engrave it in stone where no wind can
ever erase it."

CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special
person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to
love them, but then an entire life to forget
them.
Send this phrase to the people you'll never
forget and remember to send it also to the
person who sent it to you. It's a short
message to let them know that you'll never
forget them. If you don't send it to anyone,
it means you're in a hurry and that you've
forgotten your friends. Take the time to send it
