Making your mark in the world is better than making trouble.

About This Quote

A story has been told about a group of very young boys who were in the forest when they heard a loud noise. They ran in that direction and found a massive boulder in the middle of the road, blocking it with their weight. The boulder was so heavy that the boys could not lift it with their strength and had to ask for help from others. When they got under it, they could not move it at all and started to cry.

A boy from the group called out to them, “Don’t cry,” he said. “Just keep on pushing and you will get up off this rock.” The boys tried again, but could not get up off the rock. They kept trying and pushing until finally one of them shouted out, “Just do what he did! He pushed it over!”
