The lonely way to enjoy life is to work. Work is much more fun
than fun. =============== Noel Goward.
A man was very proud of his name - Shersing (lion hearted). He
was always busy bragging about his bravery. To increase the effect of his
stories and reputation he thought of getting a tattoo of a lion on his biceps.
A professional tattoo artist was called for this. When the tattoo artist started
pinching his needle, Shersing started writhing in pain. He tried to put up a
brave face for a while but could no longer bear the pain and scolded the
artist, "Why are you still making the tail of the lion? There are lots of
animals without tail, leave the tail and start drawing other parts of the
lion's body." Thus story continued and he kept on stopping the artist
every few minutes.
The result of this adventure for Shersing was a deformed
tattooed creature without head or tail. He sighed and said, "My name and
reputation is good enough and I don't need an inscription to prove my courage.
People with weak determination keep telling lies about their valor
and courage but when the time comes to perform, they are the first to slime
away and hide instead of facing a problem boldly.
I go on with what I am about as though there were nothing else
in the world for the time being. That is the secret of all hardworking men.
==== Charles Kingsley
