Signs That you are Broke

At communion, you go back for seconds.
You think of a lottery as an investment.
You are formulating a plan to rob the food bank.
Long distance companies don't call you to switch.
You give blood everyday just for the Orange Juice.
Mc Donalds is the supplier for all your kitchen condiments.
American Express calls and says..."leave home without it."
You have rolled so man pennies that you have a phsycic bond with Abe Lincoln.

Are you paving your way leaving a smooth trail that follows behind you? or...

Are you steam rolling over everything in you path to get to the top, without future consequences in mind. Are you burning the bridges that you may have re-cross at a later date. Success at any cost...is that really the way to build a business?

The Doctor was examining the ninety year old gentelman. "Can you cure me doc?" the man asked. The doctor pointed out that when one gets older, all sorts of ailments occur.
