Principle of the Day

Love the horse shots and great principle.

It reminds me of a play on it I read somewhere which always stuck with me...

You can lead a man to knowledge...

But you cannot make him think.

Great post @bleujay!

I would love to be there do some horseback riding but the horses here are pretty huge Mon Ami! In the Philippines I dared do that but I think here- I will have to take some lessons. The horses are really huge here - like giant horses ^ ^

I think this is especially true with my 2 year old... I can lead her to vegetables, but I can't make her eat them...

So very true @bleujay! Sometimes need to see for themselves what is best for them...we can only show them, not make them.

How true, some people just don't want to learn, sad but true.

Horses are majestic and beautiful animals, your pictures really captured that majesty.

Thank you for your kind reply @scottish01.

Appreciate you dropping by.

Perhaps if one could look at learning as an opportunity rather than a chore....as a sweet rather than broccoli....one might then have the attitude one should have toward learning. ^_^

Your kind words regarding the photographs are appreciated.

Wishing you and yours all the best. Cheers.

edit.....Appreciate the reSteem....very kind of you.

Good post! I agree with your principle! I think we can't control people totally, especially their thinking.

The horse is beautiful. Nice shot. I especially like the 4th pic and the black and white picture. ;)

Yes......thoughts are invisible....therefore no one can see them.....we choose whether someone can hear them. ^_^

All the best to you. Cheers.
