The five balls....

I just finished reading one of my favorite books (for the third time!). The name of the book is Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. If you don't mind crying while reading, this is a good book for you. One of my favorite things about the book is the lesson of the five balls. I truly believe in this lesson and it goes like this:



There are five balls that make up life:

1) Family
2) Friends
3) Health
4) Integrity
5) Work

Four of these balls are made of glass (Family, Friends, Health, and Integrity). If you drop them, they can nick, scratch, and sometimes even break.

The fifth ball is Work. This ball is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
