What Matters - ATTITUDE
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 the 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 4 a.m.the next morning, a dozen
FBI agents and local 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."
NO MATTER WHERE YOU
ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO
DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT - IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT
MATTERS & NOT WHERE YOU ARE.
ATTITUDE IS ALL THAT MATTERS
