TIME; MAKING YOUR GENERATIONS PROUD

You had two parents and each of them had two
parents and they had a total of four parents. Before
that, you had eight great-grand parents, sixteen
great-great-grandparents, thirty-two great-great-
great-grandparents. If you pursue that line and allow
an average of 25 years between generations that
would simply mean that 500 years ago there were
1,048,576 people on earth involved in the production
of you.

Now if you calculate the average investment of time
in you which has been expended by your parents,
teachers, the farmers who raised the food you’ve
eaten, and the workers who produced the
automobiles you’ve ridden in, the numbers increase
even more. Now add the school, churches, office
building. Grocery and department stores etc. in
which you work and trade, combined with the
workmen who paved the street, the doctors who’ve
cared for you the dentists who’ve provided your
dental care, authors who wrote books you’ve studied and read – the figures really get to be impressive.

When you consider this for a moment, you are the
only one who can use the education and ability which all these people have contributed to you. You’ve got to make their investment pay off.
