A friend of mine was a metro police officer for some years. He has a big heart and evidently his sergeant thought he was letting too many people off without writing them a citation. The sergeant called him into the office and told him he just had to write more tickets.
So my friend thought about the sergeant’s order and decided that the best way to write a few tickets the fastest was to set up in a nearby neighborhood. So he parked his cruiser out of view of a pretty busy intersection that had a couple of stop signs. He knew from observation that each morning as people left their homes to head to work they rolled through those signs without stopping. They had driven by those signs for years and really didn’t pay much attention to them anymore…until that fateful week when he showed up and wrote dozens of citations.
What is so familiar to you that you no longer really pay attention? You know, this Sunday is Mother’s Day in the U.S. If your mother is still living, please pay her some attention. Another great way to make a life, not just a living!
