Tom Sawyer was punished by Aunt Polly. As part of his punishment, Tom is painting the fence of his house when his local friends come by to ask if it’s fun. When Tom tells them that it is, they ask for a chance to try it. Tom refuses, saying it’s not free, but his friends offer him toys and food, begging for permission. Tom ends up profiting while fulfilling Aunt Polly’s punishment without doing the work himself. There is a dynamic relationship in everything, and management provides a little strength wherever things can go well. If you work hard without question, you need to bring toys and food to others, but if you work wisely, you’ll achieve your goals with the help of others, gaining both toys and food along with praise. All Tom did was hold a paintbrush in front of the fence and smile. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Individuals who lack awareness of their own desires often seek those of others. In contrast, those who understand their own desires exhibit a degree of mental health, regardless of their honesty or dishonesty. Clearly, mentally healthy individuals do exist. Being around such a person provides me with a sense of security. In these times, reassurance is more crucial than ever. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
