A story was told of a billionaire who met an old man outside his gate on a cold night.
He asked him, "don't you feel cold being outside without covering yourself with any warm clothing?" The old man replied "I don't have any warm clothing and I already got used to that."
The rich man replied "wait right here, I will bring something warm for you to wear." The old man was happy and said"I will wait". The billionaire rushed into his house and got busy there and forgot all about the poor man.
In the morning he remembered the poor man and rushed out to look for him, but unfortunately he had died out of the cold. Something attracted the rich man's eyes. He looked around and saw a note written by the old man
"When I didn't have any warm clothes on me, I had the power to fight the cold because I resisted it, but when you promised to help me, I got attached to your promise and that took my power away.
It's a reminder that today and in this week, we shouldn't make promises we're not willing to keep as you might raise someone's hopes and crash it doing so.
Have a fruitful week
