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, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest 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? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"The young boy was apologetic. "Please mister ... please, I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to do," he pleaded."I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car."It's my brother," he said."He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned 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 hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger.Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention

لا تتسرع فى حياتك
كان هناك رجلا مسئولا شابا ناجحا ذات يوم مر بأحد الأحياء مسرعا بسيارته الجاكوار في مهمة جديدة. فخيل له أنه شاهد بعض الأطفال يتحركون بين سيارات متوقفة فأبطأ من سرعة سيارته ليتأكد من خلو الشارع . لكن عندما مرت سيارته ، لم يرى أي طفل وبدلا من ذلك ، تفاجأ بطوبة قد رميت على باب سيارته الجاكوار! فضغط على الفرامل بقوة و عاد بسيارته بسرعة إلى الخلف فقفز من سيارته غاضبا و أمسك بقوة بأقرب طفل ودفعه إلى أقرب سيارة و صرخ فيه قائلا: ، "لماذا فعلت هذا؟ من أنت؟ بماذا كنت تفكر؟ هذه سيارة جديدة و الضرر الذي حدث من الطوبة التي رميتها ستكلف الكثير من الأموال؟ لماذا فعلت ذلك؟" قام الطفل بالاعتذار من الرجل " أرجوك سيدي... أرجوك ! أنا متأسف... لم أكن أعرف ماذا أفعل غير ذلك؟ و قال مبررا ". لقد رميت الطوبة لأني لا أجد من يتوقف لي" و أكمل و الدموع تملأ وجهه و تقطر من ذقنه :" انه أخي... قد قبض على الكابح فجأة فسقط من كرسيه المتحرك و أنا لا أستطيع حمله"
سأل الطفل و هو يتشنج من البكاء راجيا المسئول المذهول" هلا ساعدتني لإعادته إلى كرسيه المتحرك؟ فلقد تأذى من وقعته لكنه ثقيل جدا علي." تحركت مشاعر السائق الذي شعر بغصة في حلقه فساعد الطفل بسرعة لإعادته إلى كرسيه و أخرج منديلا من جيبه لتنظيف و ربط مكان الجروح. و نظرة سريعة أخبرته أن كل شيء سيكون على ما يرام.
"شكرا لك وبارك الله بك ،" قال الطفل بامتنان للغريب. لم يستطع الرجل أن يرد من شدة صدمته وبدلا من ذلك جلس يشاهد الطفل و هو يدفع أخيه على كرسيه عائدين إلى بيتهما. كانت فترة طويلة و بطيئة بالنسبة للمسئول و هو يعود ماشيا إلى سيارته الجاكوار. الضرر كان واضحا على باب السيارة، لكن السائق لم يهتم لإصلاحه. فلقد أبقى سيارته بهذا الخراب ليذكره برسالة مهمة و هي: لا تسرع في حياتك فقد يضطر أحدهم أن يرمي عليك طوبه ليلفت انتباهك
