Two boys..................

"Two young boys were raised by an alcoholic father.  As they grew older, they moved away from that broken home, each going his own way in the world.  Several years later, they happened to be interviewed separately by a psychologist who was analyzing the effects of drunkedness on children in broken homes.  His research revealed that the two men were strikingly different from each other.  One was a clean-living teetotaler, the other a hopeless drunk like his father.  The psychologist asked each of them why he developed the way he did, and each gave an identical answer, 'What would you expect when you have a father like mine.'"
-Earl Nightingale, paraphrasing a story told by Hans Selye
