SOMETHING TO PONDER (Boy Asks the Meaning of Life)

Boy Asks the Meaning of Life

     An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes and asked, "I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to know the meaning of life."
     The old man looked down at the youngster and replied, "I've thought a lot in my lifetime and the meaning can be summoned up in four words.
     The first is THINK! Think about the values you want to live your life by.
     The second is BELIEVE! Believe in yourself based on the thinking you've done about the values you're going to live your life by.
     The third is DREAM! Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you're going to live your life by.
     The last is DARE! Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and the values you're going to live your life by.
     And with that... Walter E. Disney said to the little boy, "Think, Believe, Dream and Dare!"
