motivational story.........
An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden,
but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in
prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his
situation:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my
potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your
mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging
up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know
you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.
Love, Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram:
For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried
the GUNS!!
At 4a.m the next morning, a dozen police officers showed up and dug up the
entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote
another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to
do next.
His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best
I could do for you from here."
Moral:
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING
DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE THOUGHT THAT
MATTERS...
