‘Put some LIFE into it! ”
The' following analogy may strike you as being funny,
but when you stop to think of it. in one respect life is like
cooking ... the finished product can only be as good as the
elements that go into the making. A good cake is compounded
of pure ingredients, and the same is true of a good life ....
because your life represents exactly what you have put into
Any cook knows you have to put a sizeable amount of
coffee into the percolator if you are to wind up with a sub
stantial, fullbodied cup of coffee . . . and a mature person
should realize the best way to end up with a worthwhile
existence is to contribute quality ingredients . . work love
tolerance and religion in equal parts.
Remember. Life reciprocates ... you will always get out
of it exactly what you put into it ... so put a LOT of LIFE
into it and get a LOT of LIFE out of it!
