A LinkedIn connection that came from online marketing sent me an email message about his new foray into social media strategy. After reviewing his blog, reading his postings, watching video testimonials about what he has done for local clients, etc. I was impressed. His email continued that he was looking forward to 2012 as he planted a lot of good seeds.

I immediately replied to his email with an analogy I always used to use when I was on the road doing training sessions for my network marketing company. The analogy was about a monk who was given the chore of watering a bamboo tree every morning and evening.

This monk performed his task with gusto during the first week. But at week’s end, he failed to see a sprout. So he continued to do this the second week. Still no sprout at the end of the second week. He started to get discouraged but continued his twice daily routine for a third and then a fourth week. To his dismay, no visible sign of life. Deciding to give it one more week before he threw in the towel, he continued. At the end of this fifth week, no sprout.

He went to see the abbott, the head of the monastery, and told him of all his efforts with nothing to show for it. Obviously he wanted the abbott to suggest a different task for him to do. Instead, the abbott said to continue doing exactly what he had been …

Singing girl scout songs is not something I have done a lot of, being a guy! I imagine the girls must be more refined, dainty and classy. I’m sure they must sing the kind of songs you would sing at a church camp. The songs they sing must be quite different from the songs that I have heard around Boy Scout campfires. Is that true?

I have two daughters that have told me the kinds of songs they sing, and I can tell you, they sing the same kinds of songs that the boys sing. Maybe even worse! I think some songs they sing would make even a boy scout blush!

Not to worry; I am not promoting that kind of song here.

Whenever I ask one of the young ladies I know to tell me their favorite girl scout song or campfire girl song, the first one they say is Princess Pat. So here is Princess Pat, along with a few other camping songs popular among girl scouts, campfire girls and other organizations for girls.

After you have soil has been taken care of it is time to place your rocks.
