This is a story of a man who had been dreaming of building a school but all he did was say: "If only I had a million dollars, I would build a school.
One saturday afternoon, he sat in his room thinking of the means of raising the money to carry out his plan. For nearly two years, he had been thinking but had done nothing. He made up his mind that he would get the one million dollars within a week. He called the newspapers and announced that he would preach a sermon the next morning about what he would do if he had a million dollars. He went to work on the sermon immediately, but the task was not difficult because he had been preparing that sermon in his heart for almost two years.
Next morning he rose early, read the sermon, knelt on his knees and asked that his sermon may draw the attention of someone who will supply the needed money. When he began the sermon, he closed his eyes and spoke with all his heart and soul of his dreams. He told them what he would do with a million dollars if that amount was ever placed in his hands. He described the plan he had in mind to organise a great educational institution where young people would learn to do practical things and at the same time develp their minds on steemit.
When he had finished and sat down a man arose from his seat about three rows from the rear and made his way towards the pulpit. The man came to the pulpit, extended his hands and said: I like your sermon, I believe you can do everthing you said you would do if you had a million dollars. To prove that I believe in you and your sermon, come to my office tomorrow morning; I will give you the million dollars.
