Kinder-Ambition
April 25th, 2010
Every person at some point in his childhood has been asked the question - “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. Little Johnny in some stroke of inspiration decided that he wanted to be a doctor. With great pride he expressed this desire to his father. His father was glad. But Little Johnny was only slightly older than a toddler. His father asked him -
I’m glad to hear your ambitions, that you’ve aired,
However, it is necessary for you to be mentally prepared,
You must know that there are hazards in every occupation,
And when you’re holding a scalpel during an operation,
To cut open a person, wouldn’t you feel scared?
Kids can say the funniest things. Little Johnny was wiser beyond his years. He calmly responded…
Earlier too on these reasons, I did dwell,
Then I reached a conclusion - my plan I shouldn’t shelve,
My reasoning is really simple, forward and straight,
There isn’t really a reason for me to be afraid,
Cause it isn’t like I would be cutting myself!
Good point.
