Greetings Yogis,

*Forwarded from a friend, a true story:*

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, 
while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for 
help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the 
bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, 
screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the 
lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse 
surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and 
introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."

"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer 
replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son 
came to the door of the family hovel.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.

"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.

"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of 
education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his 
father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." 
And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, 
graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and 
went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir 
Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog 
was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?

Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
===================================

PS I'd love to stay and Chit chat, though I am too busy right now.

All the Very Best on this, The Third Day of the Nine Days Of Mother 
Divine!

Jai Guru Dev,

Jim
