Some stories I have recalled and I am going to type in my my blog. Please acknowledge this as it is not a copy and paste, its what I heard before and i'm going to share it. THE TURTLESA turtle family decided to go on a picnic. TUrtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outing. Finally, the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place for their outing. During the second tear of their journey, they found a place ideal for them at last and completed the arrangements. Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined , cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left. Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five years... six years... then on the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and begun to unwrap a sandwich. At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting," See! I knew you wouldn't wait. Now I am not going to get the salt." MORALSome of us wasted our time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concern about what others are doing that we don't do anyuthing ourselves.
