"It's Better to Be Kind Than to Be Right"

I was looking at some books online the other day (big surprise there, I know Ü), and I found this excerpt from a book that looks really great... Dad: The Man Who Lied to Save the Planet, 12 Timeless Virtues Handed Down to a Son by an Everyday Dad (by James Michael Pratt). The excerpt was printed in an article entitled "It's Better to Be Kind Than to Be Right" in MormonLife. I really enjoyed reading it, and it shares a great message. If you would like to read it too, just click on the link below.

P.S. Dad, I thought of this story again when you were talking last night about how you learned the same sort of lesson from your dad. Ü

This is a really good story, thanks! I plan on using it now when i talk about charity and love towards our fellow bretheren. I especially love the quote the dad had on the 3"by 5" card by the unknown author.

I read that quote in another book (The Spellbinder's Gift by Og Mandino...you should definitely read it!!!!), but I found this online:

I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
