“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.” – Jacob M. Braude

In a Purdue University classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States. It was pretty simple.  The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair the requirement is to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating :”What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?”

• What is the downside if I lose the person for 3 months, 6 months, forever?

A farmer hears a knock at his door late one winter’s night. He opens his door, looks around and looks down and there, at his doorstep, is a snail. The snail says, “Can I come in, I’m really coooooold?” The Farmer says, “No, get outta here you stupid snail,” and kicks him across the garden. Spring comes, then summer then fall and before you know it, it’s winter again.  The farmer hears a knock on his door. He opens the door, looks around and sees that same snail from last year, who says, “What did you do that for?”
