Postive Attitude Matters a lot !!

Guys,This is an amazing story which I would like to share with you all. The story shows that if you want to do something for someone, you can do it wherever you are in this world. It only requires a positive attitude and the willingness to do it. So, here goes the story.....

There was an old man who was living alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it required a lot of hard work which he himself could not do. His only son, who could have helped him, was in prison. So, the old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year.

I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't
in prison.

Love,
Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!!

That's where I buried the GUNS!!

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad, It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral:

No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep from your heart you can do it. It has always been the thought that matter.....

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
