"I'll have which ever one Ebony doesn't want."

That completely selfless remark came from the mouth of a beautiful 4 (or 5 maybe) year old child I met at a child's birthday party the other day.

When asked which jelly flavor she wanted (yellow or red) she replied "I'll have which ever one Ebony doesn't want."

How adorable; putting her younger sister first, casting aside what she wanted, to offer somebody else the first choice.

To say, 'no you go first, I'll have what you don't want, I'll take the left overs, I'll put myself last' is an entirely selfless attitude and one that we as a society need to take on. We should constantly be thinking of others. Taking second best with a smile, being prepared to give up some thing so that somebody else can have better.
