IT'S IN YOUR HANDS, SON

High on a hill top overlooking the beautiful city of Venice Italy. There lived an old man who was a genius. Legend had it that he could answer any question anyone might ask him. One day, two of the local boys figured they could fool the old man, so they caught a small bird and headed for his residence. One of the boys held the little bird in his hands and asked the old man if the bird was dead or alive. Without hesitation the old man said "Son, if i say to you that the bird is alive, you will close your hands and crush him to death. If i say the bird is dead, you will open your hands and he will fly away. You see, Son, in your hands you hold the power of Life and Death." "IN YOUR HANDS YOU HOLD THE SEEDS OF FAILURE - OR THE POTENIALS FOR GREATNESS."
