ALL IT TAKES IS A LITTLE MOTIVATION
I love the story the late Dr. Ken McFarland delighted in telling. It seems a gentleman worked on the 4:00 p.m. to midnight shift, and he always walked home after work. One night the moon was shining so bright he decided to take a short cut through the cemetery, which would save him roughly a half-mile walk. There were no incidents involved, so he repeated the process
on a regular basis, always following the same path.
One night as he was walking his route through the cemetery, he did not realize that during the day a grave had been dug in the very center of his path. He stepped right into the grave and immediately started desperately trying to get out. His best efforts failed him, and after a few minutes, he decided to relax and wait until morning when someone would help him out.
He sat down in the corner and was half asleep when a drunk stumbled into the grave. His arrival roused the shift worker since the drunk was desperately trying to climb out, clawing frantically at the sides. The shift worker reached out his hand, and touched the drunk on the leg, and said, "Friend, you can't get out of here..." --- but he did!
He just needed a little motivation.
