My friend Monty Roberts told me a story about a young boy. One day at school, the boy was asked to write a paper   26   what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

That night he wrote a seven – paper   27   his dream of owning a farm. He put a great deal of his heart into the paper and the next day he handed it in to his   28  . Two days later he received his paper back. On the   29   page was a large red F with a   30   that read, “See me after class.” The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “  31   did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. Owning a farm requires a lot of money. There’s no  32   a young man could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “  33   you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your   34  .”

The boy went home and   35   about it long and hard. Finally, after a week, he turned in the   36  paper, making no changes.

Monty then said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting on my farm.
