Pooh Is Able To Accomplish What He

In The Story Of Ugly Duckling, When Did The Ugly Duckling Stop Feeling Ugly? When He Realized That He Was A Swan. Each Of Us Has Something Special, A Swan Of Some Sort, Hidden Inside Somewhere. But Until We Recognize That It's There, What Can We Do But Splash Around, Treading Water? The Wise Are Who They Are. They Work With What They've Got And Do What They Can Do.

Within Each Of Us There Is An Owl, A Rabbit, And Eeyore, And A Pooh. For Too Long, We Have Chosen The Way Of Owl And Rabbit. Now, Like Eeyore, We Complain About The Results. But That Accomplishes Nothing. If We Are Smart, We Will Choose The Way Of Pooh. As If From Far Away, It Calls Us With The Voice Of A Child's Mind. It May Be Hard To Hear At Times, But It Is Important Just The Same, Because Without It, We Will Never Find Our Way Through The Forest.

One Sometimes Gets The Impression That Those Intimidating Words Are There To Keep Us From Understanding. That Way, The Scholars Can Appear Superior, And Will Not Likely Be Suspected Of Not Knowing Something.

The Masters Of Life Know The Way, For They Listen To The Voice Within Them, The Voice Of Wisdom And Simplicity, The Voice That Reasons Beyond Cleverness And Knows Beyond Knowledge.

The Eeyore Educational System Sees Childhood As A Waste Of Time, A Luxury That Society Cannot Afford . . . Put Children In School At The Earliest Age Possible; Load Them Down With Homework; Take Away Their Time, Their Creativity, Their Play, Their Power; Then Plug Them Into Machines.
