Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, Nobody, or Someone Else?

This past Sunday, one of our members gave me some inspirational words. I could not resist sharing them...

Four People”
Everybody
Somebody
Anybody
Nobody

There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Somebody Else -
There’s a clever young fellow named Somebody Else. There is nothing this fellow can’t do. He’s busy from morning till way late, just substituting for you. You’re asked to do this, or asked to do that. And what is your ready reply, Get Somebody Else. He’ll do it much better than I. So much to do in this weary old world; so much and the workers are few. And Somebody Else is weary and worn just substituting for you.

Next time you’re asked to do something worthwhile, just give this ready reply; If Somebody Else can give time and support, my goodness then so can I!
