QUOTE

A mother, annoyed by her son's constant pestering, invented a game for him to play.



She cut up a map of the World and gave him the pieces to put back together again, thinking it would take him hours, if he ever managed it.

Ten minutes later he returned with the completed map. When she asked him how he had done it so quickly, he said, "There is a picture of a woman on the back, and when I put her together, the World came together."

It could mean that adversity is the mother of invention...

That you can confound other peoples' expectations of you...

That all it takes to solve a seemingly impossible problem is to look at it in a different way...

Can you see any other meaning in it? If you can, why not drop us an email?
