Κάκιστη επιλογή



Ο Ρέιγκαν στα απομνημονεύματά του γράφει ότι όταν ήταν πρόεδρος, τον επισκέφτηκε μια μέρα ο πατέρας Μπους και του είπε: «Ρόναλντ, έχω ένα γυιό που από μικρός ήταν προβληματικός. Τώρα έχει φτάσει 40 χρονών και είναι τελείως άχρηστος. Δεν είναι ικανός για τίποτα. Δεν ξέρω τι να κάνω μ’ αυτόν.» Ο πατέρας Μπους αναφερόταν στον σημερινό πρόεδρο των ΗΠΑ.

Αν είχε φροντίσει όμως να τον κλείσει σ’ ένα ίδρυμα, και ο γυιός του θα περνούσε καλύτερα, όμοιος μεταξύ ομοίων, και ο κόσμος όλος θα ήταν σήμερα καλύτερα.

  1. Όταν κάποιος είναι άχρηστος και ανίκανος μπορεί να φτάσει πολύ ψηλά!
    Δεν είναι το μοναδικό παράδειγμα, δείτε και στη χώρα μας τι γίνεται.
    Ειδικά αν φέρει κάποιο "όνομα"...
