A short story from the tragic sinking of that great ocean liner the Titanic, a lady had a seat in one of the life boats. She begged to be allowed to return to her stateroom, she was given three minutes. As she entered her stateroom, she walked right passed the jewels laying on her nightstand and reached into a box to acquire three oranges and returned to her place in the life boat.
How many times, in my short life, when there has been an alteration of a situation or its surroundings has had such a dynamic effect on my outlook as to what is important?

Why is it that often we must be faced with dire situations in order to accept drastic changes. I believe that we would consider the life changing benefits of uncomfortable "adjustments" the first time if we knew what else must come our way to accomplish the same results.
Where did you find this story? It is a fantastic illustration of what really matter...
