Our Expectations

A turtle family went on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow
about things, took seven years to prepare for their outings. Finally the
Turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second
year of their journey they found it. For about six months they cleaned
up the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements.

Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt
would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the
youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he
was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined,
cried, and wobbled in his shell.

He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he
returned. The family consented and the little turtle left. Three years
passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five years, Six years...
Then in the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no
longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and
began to unwrap a sandwich. At that point the little turtle suddenly
popped out from behind a tree shouting, "SEE I knew you wouldn't wait.
Now I am not going to go get the salt."

Lesson Learned:
Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our
expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing that we
don't do anything ourselves.
