What goes around comes around
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor
Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out 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 take him and give
him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father,
he'll grow to a man you can be proud of." And that he did. In
time, Farmer Fleming's son 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.
Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia.
What saved him? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman?
Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone once said: What
goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
