Sappy, but good

If you and a friend ever carry a bucket together you'll find that it seems as if your friend is carrying more than half. For reasons unknown to me (physics professors can probably explain this) sharing the load seems to reduce the total weight of the bucket.

Same thing with big tasks like moving. When friends move out of their house and they do it by themselves the task seems insurmountable. Yet, when eight or ten guys (and three or four pickup trucks) show up to help it's not long before everyone's standing around wondering what to do next because all the boxes and bags and furniture are loaded up and ready to go.

Help someone today. Take part of their load. Share the work. Share the burden. If someone helps you, show your gratitude. Simple as that... the world is better for your effort. Get to it.
