Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Most gas stations in the South have little change dishes by the register. If you’re paying for a transaction and need an extra penny or two, you simply take one from the dish. People then reciprocate this good turn by dropping a few coins in the dish from time to time, thereby creating a community bank of sorts, based on goodwill.
So in that spirit, this is Southern Plate’s “Give A Penny, Get A Penny” page.” I dearly love positive quotes and am always scouring the web for more so I thought this would be a great place to compile all of those. I’ll post mine, you post yours, and we can all “Give A Penny” when we have one and come back to “Get A Penny” when we need one.
I’ll also draw from these quotes to include at the bottom of my posts and emails that I send out to Southern Plate readers and be sure to credit the person who provided it, so include a link to your blog if you have one.
I would consider it a personal favor if you’d take the time to share a quote of motivation or positivity in the comments section below. Quote yourself, your Mama, someone famous, or our best friend “Anonymous”, it doesn’t matter, long as you drop your penny and then come back on one of those days when you feel like you might need one yourself.
Gratefully,
Christy

Mark, this is so true….. thanks for reminding me!!!
In the mid-1970s, before the days of personal computers, I was actually in a computer-related job as a programmer. I read a book that was published in 1971, and although I do not have the book anymore, for some reason I still remember the name of the book, the author, and the only message I still remember from the book. The quote applies to any new endeavor, and although I may have the original punctuation wrong, here is the quote:
THE FEAR OF NEW THINGS, THE EXPECTATION OF FAILURE, AND THE RELUCTANCE TO ADMIT WEAKNESS: ALL HAVE A RETARDING EFFECT ON LEARNING, WHETHER IN A FORMAL CLASSROOM SITUATION OR ON THE JOB.
The Psychology of Computer Programming by Gerald M Weinberg
For finding the right man to love……..
The only man worth crying over, won’t make you cry!
FAMILY we may not have it all together but together we have IT ALL!!!
Start living now.
Stop saving the good china
for that special occasion.
Stop withholding your love
until that special person materializes.
Every day you are alive is a special occasion.
Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
