Subject: Fwd: Gas Pump Wisdom from South Africa!
Great motivational quotes
Wynn
-
Some good stuff here!
This is a very cool story. Can you imagine wanting to make sure you drove
by a certain gas station every day just to see what the message was on the
chalkboard? It's true. A gas station has become quite a landmark in
Gauteng, South Africa, with its daily Petrol Pump Wisdom, which are
uplifting quotes written on a chalkboard. Some people say they deliberately
travel this route just to read the quote which brightens their day.

The lady behind this wonderful initiative at Hutton Hyde Park is Alison
Billett. She told the South African People: "We inherited the board from
the previous owner, Dick Hutton, when we bought the filling station from him
almost 20 years ago. We continued the tradition and it has become a
landmark, more so now that it's on social media"!

"Not a day goes by when I don't get a call or a visit from someone to tell
me how much they appreciate the message. It seems that every day there's
something that just speaks to what is going on in someone's life and that
inspires or motivates them".

"Having people come and tell me their stories and how the quote helped them
in some small way is what motivates me to keep writing! We use a variety of
quotations - some are topical, some are funny, some are inspirational, some
even reflect what is going on in my life that day"!

"The boards were spotted by a motivational speaker from the UK, Geoff Ramm,
when he was driving by one day and he was so taken by them he included a
piece about them in his book!

"The boards have appeared many times in newspapers and magazines and been
spoken about on radio stations all over the world 9GAG has re-tweeted them
a few times too!" BOB 95FM in the USA recently posted Alison's "Rest in
Peace" quote which has now been shared over a quarter of a million times
around the world!
