Looking in All the Wrong Places


Looking in All the Wrong Places
“It was on my fifth birthday that papa put his hand on my
shoulder and said, ‘remember my son, if you ever need a
helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm".
Sam Levenson 1911 – 1980, American Humorist, Writer, TV Host

As I see it . . . . . . .

Looking in all the wrong places

If your looking for a hand up . . . . I will offer my hand to you to lift up.

If your looking for a hand out . . . . your looking in all the wrong places.

If you’re your looking for a hand to pull you forward . . . . I will be there for you.

If your looking for a fish . . . . I will show you how to fish.

If your looking moral support . . . . I will do the best I can to give it to up.

If your looking to be supported . . . . your looking in all the wrong places.

If your looking for a friend . . . . you can count on me.

If your looking for an opportunity . . . . I will help you find it.

There is a big difference in giving . . . . and in helping someone . . . . and someone who is a taker.

Looking in all the wrong place . . .  for the hand you need to help yourself is at the end of your arm.

Have The Imagination of a Child


Motivational Power Quote

Have the Imagination of a Child
“One of the virtues of being young is that you don’t let the facts
get in the way of your imagination.”
Sam Levenson 1911 – 1980, American Author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Have the imagination of a child

Our childhood was a wonderful time in our life . . . . and our imagination was in full bloom . . . .  and everything seemed possible.

We played games for hours . . . . and when we didn’t have a game . . . . we made up our own games.

It was a great time before electric games . . . . and the games were played outside.

One of the games we played was called kick the can . . . .

All you needed was a least 2 kids a can . . . . a small area to play in and a can. The can was used like a soccer ball and you get points for hitting a goal or a target.

The games where very competitive . . . . when there were enough kids you could play elimination games . . . . and like with like any other games there was a championship game.   

As children we used our imagination and occupied ourselves . . . . There was very little money growing up in the intercity . . . . There imagination, enthusiasm and everyday was a new adventure.

Have the imagination of a child . . . . and you will never grow old.
