When I was a boy we used to travel down the Will Rogers Turnpike from Joplin MO to Tulsa OK, where friends of my parents lived. About half way there was the Will Rogers Rest-stop. At the Rest-stop there was a statue of Will Rogers. At the foot of the statue there was an inscription. "I never met a man I didn't like."
This inscription entered my mind as a a melody.
Ba bum Ba bum
Ba bum Ba bum Ba
bum.
At the end of the melody, for the period there was a Boop!
I nev a man
er met I did'nt
like Boop!
I believe the reason this entered my brain as a melody was because my deeper mind instantly knew that these words were important and should be remembered.
So... it stuck with me! And it has been a lifetime to goal to try to live up to Will's words. I have been severely challenged at times to like certain people. But it's a worthwhile goal, and these challenges are worthy.
