Hankie is right!

Same thing happened to me when I opened it in Firefox. So I copied and pasted the web address into Internet Explorer and it did play for me.

Very upbeat encouraging feel-good story.

Bump

Any time we feel sorry for ourselves, this little guy teaches us what is important in life.

Children seem to have an inborn ‘survival mode’. They tend to accept whatever happens as - “OK. If that is what I have - that is what I will deal with.” And they continue their life, overcoming every obstacle tossed their way.

With adults - it’s a different story.

Mind and body work together intricately.

Example: A person who suffers from ‘multiple (or dissociative) identity disorder’ may have a severe allergy to peanuts or shell fish. But when they assume another personality - they may not show any allergic reactions whatsoever to those products. (At least that is what I have heard.)

Children seem more able to ‘take on’ major challenges, that would cause an adult to demand a ‘pity party’. Why? Who knows - but it would be an interesting study.

Thanks, inspirational video!

Firefox wouldn’t play it for me either, switched to IE and it worked

Children And Animals. Perhaps it's because they haven't fallen from Grace like most adults.

"Perhaps it's because they haven't fallen from Grace like most adults."

Good point. And perhaps it is also because they haven't yet been "de-programed" by liberal parents.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

That crossed my mind, too!
