My friend Monty Roberts told me a story about a young boy. One day at school, the boy was asked to write a paper 36 what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven – paper 37 his dream of owning a farm. He put a great deal of his 38 into the paper and the next day he handed it in to his 39 . Two days later he received his paper back. On the 40 page was a large red F with a 41 that read, “See me after class.” The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “ 42 did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like 43 . Owning a farm requires a lot of money. There’s no 44 a young man could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “ 45 you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your 46 .”
The boy went home and 47 about it long and hard. Finally, after a week, he turned in the 48 paper, making no changes.
Monty then said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my farm. I 49 have that school paper over fireplace.” He added, “The 50 part of the story is that two summers ago the same schoolteacher 51 30 kids to camp out on my farm. When the teacher was 52 , he said, ‘Look Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream 53 . During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. 54 you had enough courage not to 55 yours.”
