“PAY IT FORWARD”
I have a “go to” present for when my friends have babies. It is made with love by a talented lady in the bush. I called up the other day to order another set....more babies on the way for friends.... only to find out that she had made something for someone who hadn’t paid. I felt sad for her as I know how much work goes into each piece.
So when I paid for my order, I decided to pay for the other persons order too. I will never meet this person, I don’t know their story, but I am sure they appreciate it deep down.
Now I am by no means looking for recognition for this little “good deed”, but what I did want to talk about was the feeling that I felt inside for doing something little to help a stranger.
Everyone has a story, yet we are quick to judge without knowing all the facts. I didn’t think twice about paying for her and it felt really good to do something small for a complete stranger. In fact it felt so good, I have since been finding opportunities to do things for people where ever I go. The little buzz you get knowing you are doing something to support someone is the biggest payoff for paying it forward.
UPDATE: As you know, right now I have 2000 sets of The Grower books being donated to schools. THERE ARE NOW ONLY 1100 SETS LEFT TO BE ASSIGNED TO SCHOOLS.
Soooooo if you would love to experience that same feeling I felt for helping a stranger, (and supporting the next generation of farmers??????????) here is your opportunity!
You don’t have to be associated to a school, you don’t even need to know the school!
1. Pull up a map of Australia,
2. Find a town and
3. Google a school!
4. Email me their postal and contact details to [email protected]
5. Cover the small $15 freight cost to secure a set of books to be sent to their school.
6. Then sit back and enjoy the feeling of knowing that you have “paid it forward” and some kids are going to get a lot of enjoyment and education out of the two books that teach them all about our Australia Agriculture Industry.
You can order for as many schools as you like- 1,2,5,10,20,30,50,100.
To secure sets for 10 schools is only $150. That’s a lot of kids you can impact!
I have some businesses now that have covered 20,30,50 and 100 schools. Stories will come soon about these in local papers and TV
