NOVEMBER 2012 - Words of Wisdom by Mario Calanna

Hello Club Member

Welcome to November. I could not resist using this following story. I do not believe in Karma – but I do believe in working with people and building teams.

Read and read again (Yes - even if you have read it before).

His was a Farmer named Fleming.  One day he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from a slow and terrifying death.

The next day an elegantly dressed nobleman visited and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

'I want to repay you,' he said. 'You saved my son's life.'
'No, I can't accept payment,' the Scottish farmer replied. Then the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.

'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked. 'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly”.

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education

my own son will enjoy.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and graduated from Medical School in London, and went on to become known as the noted - Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from

the bog, was stricken with pneumonia. He needed – Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill -

His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around. Do as much good as possible and:

”Love like you've never been hurt.  Be grateful be humble and laugh”
