It’s All In How You See It
I suppose we can all think of times when an innocent young child has said something that struck us as being rather profound. Let me tell you about one that I will always cherish. A grandfather was playing a game with one of his grandchildren. It would have been easy for the old man to completely dominate the game, but he carefully arranged for it to end in a tie. “Well,” he said to the youngster, “looks like we just tied.”
“No, Pepa, we both won !” Oh, if we grownups could only view things that way.
Winston Churchill is said to have kept this quote by Abraham Lincoln hanging in his office during World War II:
“I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me won’t matter. If the end brings me out wrong, then ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.”
