You Get Back What You Send Out
Alex had been at work most of the morning. A young Scottish lad
barely old enough to handle a team of horses much less pull that
old tree stump out of the pasture. Although Alex was young, he
knew the soggy ground from the recent rains would allow him to
pull the old stump from the field.
Alex was finally making headway with the old tree carcass. When
he noticed a very fine carriage having trouble making its way
along the muddy and rutted road. The elder Englishman being
obviously upper class was very well dressed and not too happy
when the carriage sank up to it's axle. He knew this incident
would make him late for his speaking engagement at the next
village.
Seeing the statesman's plight, young Alex released his team from
the tree.
"Hey Sir, I can help. We can get you on your way in no time at
all." Alex was right with the help of his team of horses, the
carriage was pulled from the grip of the muddy mire.
Elated the Englishman asks Alex. "How much do I owe you young
man?"
"Nothing Sir," said Alex. "It was my pleasure to help."
Alex was in absolute awe of the elder Member of Parliament.
"Well then. What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"Sir, I want to be a Doctor," replied Alex without hesitation.
"Then my young man, I will help." True to his word, the
Englishman arranged for Alex's education.
Some fifty years later, a Doctor was making his rounds in a
hospital on a totally different continent.
Another Statesman lay incredibly ill, dying of pneumonia. Doctor
Alexander Fleming knew that his newly discovered medicine would
help cure him. He ordered the patient be given his new discovery
of penicillin.
The patient, Winston Churchill made a remarkable recovery. The
actions of his father, Randolph Churchill, some fifty years
earlier by helping a young Scottish boy named Alexander Fleming
pursue his dreams saved his own son's life.
Moral of the story, you get back what you send out. You should
definitely know what you what in life, refuse to settle for less
and you could have it all.
Remember the story of young Alex. It is possible to get
everything we "bargain" for in Life.
