"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key
to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be
successful." ~Herman Cain
Wealth, Success and Love
By: Author Unknown
A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with
long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not
recognize them.
Then she said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be
hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.
"No," she said. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in," they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him
what had happened. So he said, "Go tell them I'm home, and
invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go
into a house together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she wanted to know.
One of the old men explained. "His name is Wealth," he
said pointing to one of his friends, and pointing to
another one he said, "This man is Success, and I am Love."
Then he added, "Now, go and discuss with your husband which
one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her
husband was over-joyed. "How nice!" he said. "Since that's
the case, let us invite in Wealth. Let him come in and fill
our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "Why don't we invite Success?"
But their daughter was listening from the corner of the
room. She jumped in with her own suggestion. "Wouldn't it
be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with
love!"
The wife agreed. "Then let us heed our daughter's advice,"
said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love in to
be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one
of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got
up and started walking toward the house. Then the other two
also got up and followed him.
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, "I only
invited in Love, as you directed. Why are you all coming in?"
The old men replied together, "If you had invited only
Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed.
However, since you invited Love... wherever he goes, we go
with him.
