WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
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.
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 its Heaven on Earth.
