THE REVELATION ‘’Wow! You guys should see this…’’ ‘’Please come in.’’ I was with a friend; we were waiting in the reception of another friend of ours, a millionaire. So, we went in, and then he showed us a facet of a book he was reading. ‘’Man, This is the master-key to stupendous wealth!’’ The book is actually one that we all read on a regular basis. I was blown away, when I saw it. We discussed the revelation and, then moved on to business. I was excited. I was charged-up. I was raring to go… After a while, we left the millionaire’s office, and I brought up the revelation, again. My friend (who has the physique of a model and the mind and heart of a philosopher, nay, a ‘’mystic’’) told me to calm down. ‘’Are you a Cat or a Lion?’’ he asked. I asked him what he meant. Then, he went on to explain to me, why it’s vital that we must truly know ourselves and must not mindlessly copy what others are doing? What’s a piece of cake, for a Lion, may be what will lead to a Cat’s ultimate destruction. Everybody and their dogs think they ought to be millionaires! We must know ourselves. Our nature, talents, abilities, skills, passions, obsessions…and then use them to advance humanity. Michael Newman P.S. The above is based on a true event, but I have fictionalized it a bit, just a bit (writers are weird that way).
