A woman ordered a slice of cheesecake from a New York deli. The attraction of the delicious morsel displayed in the case made her salivate like a person who had not eaten for days. When the attendant gave her the slice, it weighed over a pound! It was huge, and there was no way she could ever eat that much, well, at least at one sitting. She was delighted, and the massive slice had exceeded her expectations.
If a person demanded another to walk one mile with him, would that other walk two? If there was a lawsuit that required one pay two thousand dollars, would the one who lost pay three? If there was argument over where the line of separation is between two yards, would one neighbor cut the other's grass for free? If an office manager asked for one hour more, would a person be willing to stay for another? The writer supposes there are thousands more examples that might be used to ask whether a person is willing to go beyond the expectations of another and be willing to do something extraordinary.
In a day when people are inclined to do only what is expected and nothing more lest they be taken for granted, there is indeed a niche for those who are willing to do just a little more, a little farther, and a little beyond the anticipations of others. Those who walk in these arenas are a rare folk, and deserve to taste a little more cheesecake every now and then. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
