I'd like to share with you a moment I had while talking to someone online just a few days ago. I was talking to a young woman over in Canada who had a really amazing human story. But it wasn't her story that I wanted to share with you quite so much as the thoughts it led me to afterwards.

This young woman's story started some years back, I think she was eighteen at the time. Her family had an accident and she had lost both her parents and one of her siblings. Herself and her younger brother were all that were left of the family to carry on. She is now twenty one and the little brother is twelve. With the departure of those members, the responsibility for looking after the young boy fell on her shoulders.

She told me that she was working very hard, I believe she said she was waitressing and she was putting every spare dollar she could find into supporting her younger brother. Putting it away so that he would have the opportunity to get a good University education and hopefully be able to turn that into a good paying job.

 I felt so lucky to hear her story and felt that she was a really honorable and noble girl. But it led me to thinking about something which was once said to me, and I would like now to share that with you. Please understand I have no intention to degrade what amazing things this young woman is doing. But I feel this is important information for us all to consider.

If you have ever been on an aircraft, and I have certainly been on more than my fair share, you will know that before the plane leaves the ground, the flight attendants are required to give a demonstration of the aircraft safety features and procedures. During this demonstration they will tell you that in the event of an emergency, such as an on-board fire, Oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling of the plane for you to put on. What is important here is that every time, on every aircraft, on every airline, in every language, they always say the same thing about putting on the oxygen masks. You must put your own mask on before assisting your child, or any other person, to put on theirs. They say that every time without fail. And there is a very good reason for it.

It's because if you try to do it the other way around, and the plane has lost cabin pressure, or is filled with smoke, or both, if you try to tend to the other person first and you can't breathe, you're not helping anyone! Because you're already well on your way to dead.

In that sort of a situation, the only way you can help someone is if you help yourself first.

Now this young woman told me that they were doing ok. they had food on the table and a roof and the boy was in school. And I know what a challenge just that can be. But I could tell in her voice and the way she was telling her story that she was starting to flag. Already, at twenty one, thrust into motherhood due to a terrible accident, she was feeling the pressure. But she was determined to sacrifice her own success to make sure this boy was going to have a good opportunity.

But that worries me. Because at this point in time in both of there lives, she is the stronger and more able of the two. She is the one who has the opportunity to do something that will pull them both out of difficult times, not just the boy.The news come from http://www.bossgoo.com/
