Andy RussellPublished 7 years ago in JournalWhy Every Kid Should Milk Cows
I grew up on a farm in Ohio in the 1940s. One of my major responsibilities was helping milk the cows. From the time I was six years old, the routine was established. Every morning I arose at 6 am, dressed, picked up two milk buckets, and headed for the barn. I did that whether it was snowing or a downpour. I milked those cows seven days a week, every week in a year. When I arrived home on the school bus in the afternoon, I rounded up the cows, took them to the cow barn, and milked them again.
Robert GallantPublished 7 years ago in JournalDistractions and Lack of Motivation
I am very easily distraction. I am also not easily motivated when it comes to things that benefit me. I have a book I bought back in March 2015 that I haven't even finished. I also bought the first season of Dragon Ball a couple of months ago, and I have yet to finish that. Another huge issue I have is that I procrastinate a lot. Everyday I tell myself that I will exercise and be more active. The doctor told me about six months ago I need to be more active or risk becoming overweight. That advice for some reason was not enough to get me motivated. I just started to be serious about exercise last week.

I was reminded of my father today. He passed away a long time ago. One of the most interesting effects of time is its ability to heal wounds and amplify strengths. If I let time mesmerize me, my father was a saint. When the clock stops its hypnotic ticking, I realize that he was far less holy, but he really was an amazing teacher.
