　A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

　　As his car passed, one child appeared, and a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.

　　He jumped out of the car, grabbed that kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you？ Just what the heck are you doing？” Building up a head of steam, he went on “That’s a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it？”

　　“Please, mister, please, I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else to do！” pleaded the youngster.

　　“It’s my brother, ” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.

　　Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair？ He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”

　　Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be okay.

　　“Thank you, sir. And God bless you,” the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.

　　It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long, slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.

　　Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes, when you don’t have the time to listen， life throws a brick at your head.

　　It’s your choice: listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick！

　　Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them？

　一位年輕有為的總裁，駕駛他嶄新的Jaguar車快速經(jīng)過住宅區(qū)。在路邊玩耍的孩子隨時都可能跑到路中央，他必須十分小心，感覺孩子要跑出來時，就放慢車速。

　　就在這時，一個孩子突然出現(xiàn)在路旁，將一塊磚頭扔過來砸在他的車門上，他憤怒地急踩剎車，并將車后退到丟出磚頭的地方。

　　他從車上跳下來，抓起那個小孩，將他按在車門上嚷道：“剛才是怎么回事？你是誰？你知道自己剛剛做了什么嗎？”他氣憤地繼續(xù)吼著：“你知道你得賠多少錢才能修好這輛新車嗎？你為什么要這樣做呢？”

　　“很對不起，先生，我不知道我還能怎么做。”小孩乞求道。

　　他繼續(xù)說：“我哥哥從輪椅上摔了下來，我抱不動他。”

　　男孩哭著問總裁：“您愿意幫我把哥哥抬到輪椅上去嗎？他受傷了。他太重我抱不動。”

　　這些話深深地打動了年輕的總裁，他把那個受傷的哥哥抱回輪椅上。并拿出手帕為他擦拭傷口，看一下傷口是否有什么大問題。

　　“謝謝您，先生，上帝保佑您。”小男孩感激地說?？偛猛泻⑼浦绺缁丶伊恕?/p>

　　對于他的Jaguar來說，返回的路似乎變得極為漫長。他沒有修車門，讓保留在車上的凹痕時刻提醒自己：不要在生活的道路上走得過于匆忙，那樣別人只好向你扔磚頭，引起你的注意。
