LESSON ONE. HOW NO ONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING WHEN ONE DOES IT.

During my stay in Stuttgart,Germany,I had a most interesting conversation with my landlady,Frau Holdffeld,who kindly narrated a true story,from the end of second world war ,that took place in this great city. Although I did not speak german,through the magic of the word and the way she expressed with her hands and facial expressions,I did not miss a single count of the events that led to the reconstruction of this great city after the bombings,which were so intense that rubble was all over,and all that was left standing was the library and the train station,known as the HauptBanhoff,(is that a cool name or what?).Any way the gist of this story is that since they did not have sufficient funds to pay crews for the clean up,every citizen would pick up a stone or two when going or returning from work ,and dispose of it at large craters that were a danger to passers by,and the whole thing took care of itself free of monetary cost.All it took to organize this; was word of mouth spread even more by radio and newspapers,which were the only media at that time.
As you can plainly see,this constitutes a great historic lesson,and we can easily apply it through the internet.We can all join in and rush a job the world might be needing.So sharpen up your mind,apply the power of one,and set a rush job for all to follow.
