Who do you listen to?
There was a bakery with a large clock on the inside wall that faced out towards the sidewalk. The baker noticed that every morning an older gentleman walked by, took out his pocket watch and set the time according to his wall clock. This went on for over 10 years. One day the baker was waiting outside when the gentleman with the pocket watch came up to perform his daily ritual. After watching the gentleman set his watch, the baker spoke to him. "I have watched you set your pocket watch to my clock every morning for the last 10 years. I was wondering why you do this?" "Well" the gentleman responded, "I am the foreman at the lumber yard, 2 blocks north of here and I am responsible for setting the time clock whistle to 5:00 o'clock so that all the workers in the yard know that it's quitting time. So I set my watch to your clock each morning to make sure it is accurate." The baker stood back in shock. "Oh my", he replied. "I have been setting my clock to the whistle every day for the last 10 years." The point of the story is this: Know who you are following. Know who you are listening to. Don't waste another 10 years of your life following someone who doesn't have the results that you want for your life. Mark Carlisle
