Advise
A young composer once came to consult Mozart on
how to develop his talent.
“I would advise you to start with simple
things.” Mozart said. “Songs, for example.”
“But you were composing symphonies when you
were a child!” the man protested.
“True enough. But then I didn’t have to go to
anyone for advice on how to develop my talent.”# From the book : The Prayer of the Frog

Prayer and God
A devout religious man fell on hard times. So
he took to praying in the following fashion: “Lord, remember all the years I
served you as best I could, asking for nothing in return. Now that I am old and
bankrupt I am going to ask you for a favour for the first time in my life and I
am sure you will not say No: allow me to win the lottery.”
Days passed. Then weeks and months. But nothing
happened. Finally, almost driven to despair, he cried out one night, “Why don’t
you give me a break, God?”
He suddenly heard the voice of God replying,
“Give me a break yourself! Why don’t you buy a lottery ticket?”
