Gratuity

Gratuity is a value that is eluding our generation.


We do take things for granted -- plenty of them, mind you.

We expect so much from others and give back so little.

The question is, how much can you ask of other people?

They do not owe you anything, that is for sure. Neither do your parents, for that matter.



Count your blessings.


Start from your family.
There are so many people who do not have one.

Move on to special someones.
Treasure them because you do not know how long they'll be there for you.

Be glad that you have friends.
They help you develop emotionally and will be a huge part of your life, should you allow it.

Thank the stars that you have lived to your age, because elsewhere in the world, some people did not make it like you did.
