石建壘同學 2008       End of the Tunnel


     Rich, a mid-aged rich successful American, working late in his Wall Street office had an unbearable chest pain. He knew he was having a heart attack. He just had time to phone 911 and passed out.

     He was revived by medical staff at a hospital, woke up and saw a doctor beside him.

     The doctor said: "Congratulations, you survived your heart attack."

     "Really, I must had a near death experience." Rich murmured.

     The doctor became curious: "Tell me, was there a light tunnel, that type of thing?"

     "Oh yes, I met a person, he looked like a wise man at the end of the tunnel, just before I reached the end of the tunnel, he said to me: ‘Young man, what project were you working at, which was about to cost your life?’
I said: ‘I am glad you are interested in my project. This project is called Owning the World Three Times Over. You see, I was trying to own the world three times over. The first time by cash, the second time by credit and the third time by claiming an insurance. But right now all three layers are in trouble. I was really stressed out.’
The wise man nodded and in a very soft voice said to me: ‘Well, your problem does have a cure. Go back, next time when you have chest pain, don’t call 911 and you will see me again, and for sure I will accompany you to the end of the tunnel.’
At that point of ecstasy I woke up."

     That doctor was very impressed and said to Rich: "Indeed you met a very wise man, because I was reluctant to give people the same advice fearing a law suit, now you got it for free."
