After finishing his food, the rich man asked for the check.
When the young waiter came, the rich man noticed there was sadness in his eyes.
He asked, “Is everything okay, son? Are you having a hard day?”
“I’m having a hard life, Sir” the waiter replied.
Then the waiter continued his job, not thinking of anything.
When he returned to the table of the rich man and found a tip of $10,000.


The waiter ran to catch the wealthy man,

A wealthy man once gave me such a tip that it paid for my college tuition.
I hope that this money will help you as it had helped me”

“Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have”.
