-I head a great story about a wise man who lived on top of a high mountain. A young man went to see and test him. He caught a small bird and brought it before the wise man. The young man asked the wise man what was the state of the bird? The wise man responded… it is what you will it – meaning that depends on you. The young man asked for more information. The wise man said – If I tell you the bird is dead, you will release your hands and simply let it go and it will fly away. If I say it is alive, you will tighten your grip, squeeze the bird and it will die. Therefore, it is what you will it to be! This was a great story given by the camp director. He related it to scout camp and told the boys that this week would depend on them and what they got out of it. The week may hold hot days, cold nights, crazy weather, bugs, ups, downs, etc. The experience depends on the boys and what they will it to be. Basically, it comes down to attitude and desire.
