Something To Think About

While I'm sitting here on the boat, watching scattered rays of sunlight filter in as the clouds slowly, ever so slowly, try to dissipate, I find myself browsing the Internet as I enjoy a simple breakfast of crackers, cheese, and an apple. Quite unusual for me, but I had the makings at hand and thought, why not.

So, in my online browzing, I find an interesting and thought provoking story.

It seems there was a young boy who ate far too much sugar. The boy's mother tried and failed, tried and failed again, to get her son to stop eating so much sugar.

At her wits end she took him to see the boys idol, Mahatma Gandhi, with the hope that maybe HE could persuade the boy.

Gandhi told the mother, "Come back in two weeks, I will speak with your son."

Two weeks later the mother and her son return. Gandhi simply tells the boy, "Stop eating so much sugar, its not good for you". The boy promised to stop.

The mother then asks, "Why didnt you just tell him that two weeks ago.

The answer was, "Two weeks ago I was eating too much sugar myself"

The moral of the story is, "If you want to see change, BE the change"

Interesting idea isnt it?

Now, back to my cheese n crackers, (the apple's gone already) ;)

I think I may go for a walk somewhere. Later today I'll be bike riding with a good freind and maybe even more freinds.

More later, or sooner, which ever comes first.

Enjoy your day, Be Safe, Be Happy.
