I have alway used painting with colored sand in a bottle as an analogy to raising children.

It takes a lot of effort, and it takes a lot of time to do it right.

Make sure you put your all into it and are doing the right things when they are young, you can't go back and change the sand on the bottom later, .. its too late.

If you aren't putting your sand in their bottle, .. others will. Give them your time/sand.

The final picture in the bottle is not evident untill all of the sand has been put in.

But if you make the effort, and patiently give the time, it is well worth it and a beautiful thing to see when you are done.

That was pretty cool.

He actually had to create it twice, one on each side of a bottle, fascinating.

That advice is way too long to fit on a bumper sticker, so no one will take heed to it.

LOL! So true. Good analogy though.

Maybe I can put it on my Facebook page wall, ... now I just have to get Facebook. (and that ain't happening)

Maybe you can help spread the word.:laugh2:

Great analogy!

Notice he had to tap the bottle every now and then to get the sand to settle in
