Vision

In one of their books, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen retell an ancient story. There was a thief in ancient times who stole a magnificent coat. It was made of the finest of materials and had buttons of silver and gold. He eventually sold the coat and a friend in the society of thieves asked him what he got for it. “ A hundred pieces of silver,” was the reply. His friend was astonished. “You mean you only got 100 pieces of silver for that magnificent coat!” “Is there a number higher than a hundred?” asked the thief.
