THE GREATEST GIFT
Man, of all creatures, is physically the most ill equipped in this world. He cannot fly like a
bird, can be killed by a tiny insect, cannot outrun a leopard, cannot swim like an alligator,
cannot climb the tree like a monkey, doesn't have the eye of an eagle, nor does he have
the claws and teeth of a wild cat. Physically, man is helpless and defenseless.
But nature is reasonable and kind. Nature's greatest gift to man is the ability to think. He
can create his own environment, whereas animals adapt to their environment.
Sadly, very few people use the greatest gift the ability to think to its full potential.
Failures are of two kinds: those who did and never thought and those who thought and
never did. Going through life without using our ability to think is like shooting without
aiming.
Life is like a cafeteria. You take' your tray, select your food and pay at the other end. You
can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. In a cafeteria, if you
wait for people to serve you, you will wait forever. Life is like that too. You make choices
and pay the price.
