Oh it’s Sunday………….

The Bentley That Taught the World to Give

In 2013, Brazilian billionaire Chiquinho Scarpa announced that he would bury his $450,000 Bentley in his garden. The world called him arrogant, wasteful and crazy.

As the media gathered for the burial, Scarpa suddenly stopped the ceremony and revealed the real reason behind the stunt.

He asked, “People are angry that I want to bury a Bentley. But every day, people bury something far more valuable - healthy hearts, kidneys, livers, lungs and eyes.”

His message was simple, "thousands of people wait for organ transplants, while organs that could save lives are buried or cremated after death."

The Bentley was never the point. It was about perspective and the difference between what we own and what we can give.

A luxury car can make life more comfortable. A donated organ can give someone life itself.

Perhaps our greatest legacy isn't what we leave behind, but the lives we make better.

Moral: A meaningful life is one that gives others a chance to live better. Have a meaningful weekend!
