SETTLING FOR LESS
When James A. Garfield was president of Hiram College, a man brought his son to be enrolled as a student. He told the president that he wanted the boy to be given special consideration. “My son could never make it through all the regular studies,” said the father. “He wants to get through quickly. Can’t you arrange it for him?” “Oh, yes,” said Mr. Garfield. “He can take a short course. It all depends on what you want to make of him. When God wants to make an oak, He takes a hundred years, but he takes only two months to make a squash.” Source untraceable
