>>> His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while 
>>> trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a 
>>> nearby bog. He dropped his tools 
>>> 
>>> and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a 
>>> terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the 
>>> lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. 
>>> 
>>> The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse 
>>> surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as 
>>> the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. 
>>> 
>>> "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." 
>>> 
>>> "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied 
>>> waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door 
>>> of the family hovel. 
>>> 
>>> "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. 
>>> 
>>> "Yes," the farmer replied proudly. 
>>> 
>>> "I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my 
>>> own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt 
>>> grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer 
>>> Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's 
>>> Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout 
>>> the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. 
>>> 
>>> Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was 
>>> stricken with pneumonia. 
>>> 
>>> What saved his life this time? Penicillin. 
>>> 
>>> The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? 
>>> 
>>> Sir Winston Churchill. 
>>> 
>>> Someone once said: What goes around comes around. 
>>> 
>>> Work like you don't need the money.

>>> Love like you've never been hurt. 
>>> 
>>> Dance like nobody's watching.
