COMMUNICATION FAILURE

The Planet Trafalmador -

''Communication Failure''

by Kurt Vonnegut

''Breakfast of Champions''

KURT VONNEGUT

---Trafalmador is a distant planet. They are a peaceful lot who communicate by tap dancing and barking. They have heard of the problems that we have on Earth and feel they have answers to these.

---They sent a Tralfamadorian down to Earth in a flying saucer to help. He landed on a golf course. When he arrived he found the golf pro's house to be on fire. He lived right off the course and it happened to be at night. The pro was asleep inside.

---The Trafalmadorian saw the plight of the situation and went to awaken the golf pro. He rushed into the house and found the golf pro asleep. He wanted to tell him what was going on, so, he awakened the golf pro by tap dancing and barking by his bed. The golf pro got up and killed the Trafalmadorian with a five-iron BEFORE he realized that the house was on fire.

---Ladies + Gentlemen: this has got to be the most tragic case of failure to communicate that I have ever heard.

LEARN TO COMMUNICATE – IMPORTANT!

''Whew! That example was 'ORIGINALLY' way over-the-top!''

Mission Statement of blog

To increase the savvy of ALL individuals in the healing field. To help make people realize that when one increases his own knowledge and wisdom he does a very good thing for his own health and wellbeing. An increase in his personhood automatically improves one's ability to recover and feel good...again. I firmly believe that when all is said and done we will find that one's attitude weighs heavily on how he does and the illnesses that he finds himself with.
Ones mind + outlook, I believe, has a greater role in ones physical wellbeing than is usually given credit. In short - if the attitude, savvy and outlook of the patient increases...than the patient improves accordingly.
