Do What Heart Says
Horror gripped
the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his life long friend fall in
battle.The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his fallen
comrade back. "You can go," said the Lieutenant, "but don't think it will be
worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw
your life
away."
The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway.
Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and
brought him back to their company's trench. The officer checked the wounded
soldier , then looked kindly at his friend.
" I told you it wouldn't be worth
it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded." " It was worth
it, Sir," said the soldier.
"What do you mean by worth it?" responded the
Lieutenant. " Your friend is dead." "Yes Sir," the soldier answered, " but it
was worth it because when I got to him,he was still alive and I had the
satisfaction of hearing him say...." Jim...I knew you'd come."
Many times in
life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends on how u look at it.
Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you
may not regret not doing it later in your life........
