“Rally ‘Round The Flag”

Since forever began, I’m here to tell ya’ what they reported as being a factual question: What in the name of hell has happened to this generation of young people?

The answer hasn’t really changed our planet’s malady: Young people are born at a very young age and continue to age slower than old people do. Mainly because the young don’t learn much from the older generations about the art form of listening.

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany, of secular Ashkenazi German Jewish parents. His bloodline, from his grandfather’s side stemming from Ukraine still exists today. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, at age 76. He remained in complete control of his mental faculties at his time of death. (Perhaps still listening in to what the doctors had to say.)

When you can run

Laughing at yourself

Recovering

Healing

From

One of life’s setbacks

And you’re still

Thinking tall

Dreaming deep dreams

Remaining smart as hell

Then sharing with all

What nature bequeathed

Our human challenge to focus

By listening

Developing a very personal prowess for success!

It will be yours forever

The older a person becomes, the more they have listened
