Author has written 10 stories for Transformers/Beast Wars, Twilight, Ninja Turtles, and Avengers. So this is me. I work full time. I foster dogs and puppies for an animal rescue group. Yup. That's about it. Quotes and stories I like: "No. What you have are bullets and hopes that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded."- V for Vendetta An old man is wandering down a long stretch of ocean beach, the tide the night before had washed ashore thousands of starfish who were now drying in the morning light. Seeing a small boy he noticed the child picking up the starfish and tossing them back into the water, repeating the pocess over and over again. Confused he approached, "Boy, what are you doing?" "If the starfish stay on the beach they will dry out and die." The boy stated, pausing a moment to speak to the man. At this answer the man frowned, "But there are thousands of starfish along miles of this ocean, what makes you think you can make a difference?" The young boy thought a moment as he picked up another starfish, studying it for a moment before tossing it into the water. Pointing towards the ocean he spoke, "I made a difference to that one." MORAL: We all want to make a difference. Who says we have to make a difference to the world? Isn't making a difference to one person enough? It should be, to many times we aim too high, don't get me wrong, set your goals high, but don't forget about the little things while your at it. There was an old wiseman in an indian village who could answer any question, and two young men were annoyed with all the praise this wiseman received. They happened across a wounded sparrow in the forest one day and one male spoke up, "Ah ha! With this sparrow we can make a fool of the wise man!" The other seemed to understand as well, "Yes, you can close the sparrow in your hand and we shall ask him whether the sparrow is alive or dead, if he says the sparrow is dead you need only open your hands to reveal it is alive. If he says the sparrow lives then you twist your hands and kill it." Believing their plan fool proof the two young men seek out the wise man. After giving their question the wiseman is silent for several minutes before, "I believe the answer is in your hands." MORAL: Just like the two young men, we always hold the answer to life in our own hands, we ultimately decide what happens in our lives, unless we let others tell us what to do and think. There was a young princess who's hand in marriage had been promised to a duke, a man she felt was a brute, war minded and not very bright man. The morning of their wedding she instructed her servant, an old sailor, to tie a piece of rope from a post to her carriage and knot it well. Being a sailor of many years the servant tied many knots in order to please the princess. The duke arrived several hours later to inquire why she had yet to show. She directed him to the problem and promised, "If you can seperate my carriage from the post then I could still make it to our wedding." Of course she believed the duke not knowledged enough to be able to untangle the mess of knots. The duke had her promise that, should he seperate the carriage from the post, she would in fact marry him. When she agreed he pulled out his sword and cut the rope. MORAL: Do not over complicate things, sometimes the easiest answer isn't the most obvious. OR Don't underestimate people. |
