Bono’s Front Gate
This is the inscription on Bono’s gate, outside his home in Killiney, Dublin. Nice to contemplate its message as we prepare for some extraordinary action in the world of sports on Saturday;
In the service of God one can learn three things from a child and seven from a thief.
From a child one can learn 1) always be happy 2) never to sit idle 3) and cry for everything you want.
From a thief you should learn 1) to work at night 2) if one cannot gain it in one night to try again the next night 3) to love one’s co-workers just as thieves love each other 4) to be willing to risk one’s life even for a little thing 5) not to attach too much value to things even though you’ve risked your life for them just as a thief will resell a stolen item for a fraction of its cost 6) to withstand all kinds of beatings and tortures but to remain what you are and 7) to believe that your work is worthwhile and not be willing to change it.
