“Once
upon a time, there were four people: Everybody, Somebody
Nobody and Anybody.
Whenever help was needed, Everybody
was sure that Somebody would do it,
but in the end Nobody
did what Anybody could have done in the first place.”

WHICH
ARE YOU?
There
are two kinds of people on earth today;
Just two kinds of people, no more,
I say.
Not
the sinner and saint, for it's well understood,
The good are half bad, and
the bad are half good;
Not the rich and the poor for to rate a man's wealth,
You must first know the state of his conscience and health.
Not
the humble and proud, for in life's little span,
Who puts on vain airs is
not counted a man;
Not the happy and sad, for the swift-flying years
Bring
each man his laughter and each man his tears. No,
the two kinds of people on earth that I mean,
Are the people who lift,
and the people who lean. Wherever
you go, you will find the world's masses,
Are always divided in just these
two classes;
And
oddly enough, you will find, so it seems
There's only one lifter, to twenty
who lean. In
which class are you?
Are you easing the load ...
Of overtaxed
lifters, who toil down the road?
Or
are you a leaner, who lets others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and
care?
Ella
Wheeler Wilcox (1850 – 1919)

"As
the world's 'Misery Index' soars, our 'Empathy Index' and definition of service
need to expand. It's not just about volunteering in places we all know need help,
like soup kitchens and food banks (please continue to support those, of course!).
Through the simplicity of Internet technology, there
are countless outside-the-box ways we can serve
that stretch the boundaries of our caring beyond ourselves — enabling the
reverberation of our actions to be felt all over the planet." Small
Deeds Can Be Far Reaching ...

So
Just How DOES Inspiration Line Make A Difference?
February,
2009 Review by Worldstart.com — Internet's #1 Computer Help Resource
(Excerpt
Here):
"Are
you going through a rough patch right now? Maybe some things have happened in
your life recently and you're just having a hard time dealing with them. Life
can definitely throw you some curve balls from time to time and it's completely
understandable to be upset for awhile. But there are things that can help you
as well! One example is the cool site we're featuring today. It's called Inspiration
Line and it's perfect for a little pick-me-up! At first I thought, 'What will
this site really have to offer?' Well, let me tell you, I was amazed. I loved
this site's ability to pick me up and make me smile when I was sad, make me laugh
when I was too serious, and remind me what life is about. There are a lot of good
stories and a lot of great quotes."

THE RIPPLE EFFECT:
The
good news is that you can help others without much money.
Even
$2.00 is worth giving. How about saving
up your spare nickels and
dimes in a jar or foregoing a couple of candy bars
or soft drinks for a month?
