I WANT TO REPAY YOU! His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. " You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, 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. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world 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. What saved his life this time? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill. Someone once said: What goes around comes around. Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. Live like its Heaven on Earth.

NELSON MANDELA

Es inspirador recordar las palabras, la vida y el ejemplo de Nelson Mandela. Tuvo que vivir una experiencia muy difícil, imagínense ¡¡¡27 años en prisión!!!! y ¡qué prisión!, ¡trabajos forzados en pleno sol!!!! Pero en vez de alimentar odio o resentimiento en todos estos años, Mandela transformó esta experiencia amarga en dulce. Escogió aprovecharla para buscar respuestas y encontró el silencio interior. Y en él la puerta correcta: la de la luz, la del perdón, la de la generosidad, la de la sabiduría infinita, la de la bondad, la del ser universal.... la respuesta a la famosa pregunta de los buscadores espirituales "¿Quién soy Yo?" Nelson Mandela logró conquistar el ego, encontrando la unidad en la diversidad en su interior.

FELIZ DIA A TODAS LAS MADRES -

SI PUDIESE EQUIPARAR AL SER CON UN ÁRBOL - Kathy Schütz

Si pudiese equiparar al ser con un árbol, compararía al niño con el retoño de éste. Si tuviese un retoño, le pondría un cerco para protegerlo, le rociaría agua fresca para robustecer su belleza y, al crecer, para evitar que se cimbre, le pondría un tutor hasta verlo recto y fuerte. Si tuviera un niño, como el cerco al retoño, procuraría protegerlo de lo que intentara dañarlo, lo alimentaría de todo aquello que motivara el amor y las virtudes del alma. Como el sostén a la planta, me esforzaría cada día para darle una educación cimentada en la rectitud Fomentaría en él los buenos pensamientos y las mejores acciones, intentando con todas mis fuerzas que crezca íntegro y sano.
