 Hi there,
Wish you all had a nice day today and hope tomorrow will be better. I simply wanted to share a quote with you this evening.

Reading is important.


In fact, it is one of the most important ingredients to becoming all that you can be.
Reading develops your brain, provides a window into the world around you and helps you do better in all school subjects.
Most importantly, reading can not only help you become a better student, but a better person.  You can learn from the brightest people whenever and wherever you choose.
As important as reading is did you know that:
  • 800 million people around the world cannot read or write
  • Many families (and some schools) have no books for children to read
There are likely many children and people in our town that fall into this group.  My hope is that one day you become a strong reader. Helping others to read is an amazing gift that you can give.
Enjoy the following fable!

The Gnat & the Bull

A Gnat flew over the meadow with much buzzing for so small a creature and settled on the tip of one of the horns of a Bull. After he had rested a short time, he made ready to fly away. But before he left he begged the Bull's pardon for having used his horn for a resting place.
"You must be very glad to have me go now," he said.
"It's all the same to me," replied the Bull. "I did not even know you were there."
We are often of greater importance in our own eyes than in the eyes of our neighbor. The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.
