Playing with sticks

Like most things in life there is a protocol, a system, or a precedent to follow. While adults concoct many self-imposed limitations on a daily basis, children at play create their own freedom of thoughts. 

Take the idea of playing with sticks for instance. On one hand, a blunt stick to us adults is just a boring dull stick. On the other hand, children can re-imagine the same blunt stick into a magnificent shiny sword. 

A sword is symbolic because it represents three things: honor, liberty, and strength. This is especially true when children find themselves in some distant land clashing with titans, monsters, and villains. 

We as good to great leaders oftentimes resemble grown adults playing with blunt sticks. However, if we learn to become extraordinary we too can wield magnificent swords.
