THE TEACHER

My name’s the teacher, that is what I call myself. And I have a lesson that I must impart to you. It’s an old expression but I must insist it’s true.

While the "teacher" here is the subject of an old Jethro Tull Song. This song has one of life and business's greatest lessons amidst the guitars drums and flutes. But alas, like many classic rock songs the guitar riffs are what sticks in people's minds rather than the words which are so often hard to understand and absorbed by music.

The great lesson is the next line of the song...

Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun. No sense siting there hating everyone.

And you probably thought the word "hating" was actually "healing". (Just a slight difference which changes the entire message from the teacher.) Healing everyone sounds so much better than hating everyone, but when you hear the word "healing" you lost the true meaning of the lesson. Which is this...

Excitement (fun and success) rarely happens without our efforts to seek it. Those who seek it will find excitement and those who sit will watch the world go by with an ever increasing amount of jadedness which morphs into hate for many.

So jump up, look around and find yourself some fun. And while you are at it, try jumping up next time and every time that you need to be at one hundred percent.
