"The Turtles"

A turtle family decided to go on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow about things, took 7 months to prepare for their outing. Finally, the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second month of their journey, they found an ideal place at last!

For about six weeks they cleaned the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements. Then they discovered that they had forgotten the salt. They all agreed a picnic without salt would be a disaster. 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: No one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left.

Three months passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five months... Six months... Then on the seventh month of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat. At that point of time, the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting, "See! I knew you wouldn't wait. Now i am not going to go get the salt."

[Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing that we do not do anything ourselves.]

So true isn't it... Perhaps the months used in this turtle story is a bit exaggerating, but isn't that what many people are doing... Something for all of us to think about... =)
