If you are real, genuine, it will
show in the test of life as will being artificial.
As a young man I always desired
(for reasons unknown to me) to be a participant in a rodeo...you know, ride the
raging bull, tame the untamable bronco.
I mean you only have to ride the wild beast for eight seconds. How difficult could this thing be? Well, only two obstacles stood in my
way: #1 Mom, #2 Dad. They, for some reason, did not share in my
enthusiasm for the rodeo, but one day while in military service my big
opportunity came. My eight seconds of
glory was about to come on the back of a bronco named Lovely Boy. Well, as it turned out, eight seconds of
glory was about three seconds of horror which ended in embarrassment and pain
because Lovely Boy was everything but lovely.
What I thought was easy turned out to be...well, not so easy. So my desire to be a cowboy ended with one
act of defeat and embarrassment.
