    Isaac Stern who is the ultimate violin performer was once playing a
    concerto with 'his' own favourite violin. Half way through his
    performance one of his violin strings broke. The conductor took one
    of his very own violins and offered it to Isaac He then shrugged off
    this gift and Isaac waved off the replacement violin. The scene was
    that the was using a violin with only 4 strings in use and the
    remaining loose string could be seen fluttering around the bow and
    violin body. The whole audience was aghast at his refusal...Isaac
    continued and finished his performance as if nothing had taken
    place.The multitude of people gave him "bravos" and adulations much
    longer than expected The conductor asked Isaac out loud why didn't
    he accept this little gift of a new violin to replace what was
    broken?...Isaac replied again out loud. "I only do the best with what
    I have" The moral of this story is the following.." we are given a
    "gift" and we can only do best with what knowledge we have been
    given" Some of 'us' are like Isaac ourselves, we just do our best. I
    am Dyslexic but with other greater abilities, I also do the best
    with what I have been dealt in life. So to all of you, never fall
    down if you can't achieve "The Best"...but accept that YOU are doing
    the best you can...I wouldn't' have it any other way. Gerry Lewy!
