buy your lottery ticket

I just watched eat, pray, love last monday. Well, the movie fail to impressed me. But there's a part of the movie that really, really interesting to me. It's the Italian joke part.

There's a wonderful old Italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint, begging, "Dear saint–please, please, please... give me the grace to win the lottery." This lament goes on for months. Finally the exasperated statue comes to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust, "My son–please, please, please... buy a ticket."

LOL, damn it's so true! This wonderful joke simply remind me that i have to do something to get what i want. I have to take the first step if i wanna go thousand miles. I have to wake up if i wanna make my dream happen. Do you want something to be given to you? go ask it. Do you wanna find something? go seek it. Do you want the door to be opened to you? go knock it.

anyway, it's written and obvious on the bible, that faith without works is dead. So everyone, don't just pray... buy your lottery ticket please :)

  5. @icha: well, buy a ticket doesn't guarantee to win the lottery. but at least, it gives us a chance to win it. that's the point, we have to do something, give ourself a chance :p
