hmmmm.........

I was standing outside smoking when I met an old man who didn't look rich but told me that he was. We talked for a while about random things and he said something about ten feet forward and ten feet back. I asked him what he meant by that and he said, "You never heard of Ten feet foward and ten feet back?" I said, "No." Then he said, "Well, I'll tell you. There was this bear in a zoo and everyday he'd walk ten feet to his food and then ten feet back. Thats all he do, every day, ten feet forward and ten feet back. Then one day they removed the cage the bear was in and you know what the bear did then?"

I said, "What?"

He replied, "Well, he went ten feet forward to his food and ten feet back without bars. You know whats scary about this bear?" I said, "It had claws?"

He replied with a laugh, "No, they moved that food five feet further and the bear walked ten feet forward and stopped. He stopped and stared at the food, he wouldn't go no further." By then I was wondering what his point was and finally he finished with, "You see boy, the bear was comfortable with his misery. Day in and day out he did what he was used too. Same with you, day in and day out you keep going ten feet forward and ten feet back. You go to work and you go back home. If you want to succeed in life, remember what I tell you"

Then he left. Never seen him before after that. But I must say, his story was enlightening for me. Anyway, if anyone else has any succeed stories or maybe motivational sayings you've heard, or words of wisdom, please share them.
