HOW TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE IN 2008
An old man who lived long ago enjoyed a reputation in his community for - near infinite wisdom.A young lad, skeptical of the aura surrounding the old man,decided to demistify him once and for all.He caught a cricket, enfolded it in his hands,and then called out to the old man:"Old man, the cricket that i hold is it alive or dead?The young boy had come up with a clever idea.He thought "If he says the cricket is alive, i shalll crush it in an instant "."If on the other hand he says it is dead,i shall release it and show him to be a liar"The old man looked at the boy squarely, and told him in a slow deep voice :"Young man, whether the cricket is dead or alive lies in your hands."
