Do You Want to Be an Oak or a Squash?
A student asked the President of his school whether he could not take a shorter course than the one prescribed. ‘Oh yes,’ replied the President, ‘but then it depends upon what you want to be. When God wants to make an oak, He takes a hundred years, but when He wants to make a squash, He takes six months.’
-Quoted by Robert Clinton in The Making of a Leader.
