In my whole life I have never followed a campaign like I followed this one. I watched him, I listened to every speech and I was not surprised when he won the democratic ticket over Hillary Clinton.
And today I am not surprised that he is Americas 44th President with a landslide victory at the polls. He needed 270 electoral votes and he got 338. The crowds continued to swell at his acceptance speech. Tears and cheers flowed. A defining moment indeed.
It was dark and drizzling so he didn't notice the pit, causing him to take an unfortunate plunge right into the deep hole. Because of the wet weather the sides of the hole were slippery, in addition to being deep. He tried and tried but could not climb out. Finally he realized that he would just have to wait for someone to come along the next morning. Having decided thus, he settled into the driest corner and tried to get some sleep.
WHEN I GOT HOME that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.
Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race.
The moral of the story is that slow and steady can win the race. But then&
The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching.
The story of the Barracuda
A hungry fish (a Barracuda) in an aquarium on one side of an invisible glass partition, sights some yummy food on the other side of the tank. With great speed it takes off to get it Bang! It hits its face on the great glass divide. Stunned the barracuda tries again, a hungry fish is an angry fish Bang! "What invisible force can be preventing me from satisfying my hunger?" Again and again Bang! Bang! Bang! The Barracuda gives up, "that food is not for me....
