Every December Microsofties have a chance to pick up hand written notes with holiday wishes hanging from small trees placed in the lobby of MS buildings. They would come a few days later and place actual gifts under the tree. It is a humbling experience to read what can these kids wish for. It puts our whining about the latest and greatest gadgets in a proper perspective.
Today, we had a new twist to this story. A cookie sale was helping to finance some of the overlooked wishes that are still waiting. I spent a few minutes watching and motivating people, noticing that many donated without even touching assorted sweets. They just couldn’t pass without giving something, and even if they left empty handed, they still felt rewarded just thinking of those smiles that these gifts will bring.
Nice!

Америка је земља у којој вероватно дају највише у добротворне сврхе. Микрософт је компанија која поклања више од већине других фирми (око милијарду долара).
У мојој згради су данас продавали колаче да би скупили још пара за децу која би иначе остала без поклона за празнике. Многи су дали паре али нису хтели да узму колачић. Нису дали да купе тај слатки залогај, него да додају много слађи осмех на сићушно лице.
Тако треба!
