โChase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night.โ
– Terri Guillenets
A local charity had never received a donation from the townโs banker, so the director made a phone call.
โOur records show you make $500,000 a year, yet you havenโt given a penny to charity,โ the director began. โWouldnโt you like to help the community?โ
The banker replied, โDid your research show that my mother is ill, with extremely expensive medical bills?โ
โUm, no,โ mumbled the director.
โOr that my brother is blind and unemployed? Or that my sisterโs husband died, leaving her broke with four kids?โ
โI โฆ I โฆ I had no idea.โ
โSo,โ said the banker, โif I donโt give them any money, why would I give any to you?โ
