Irish Blessing (I want this back)

Irish    Luck - Remember to  send it   back! I  want  this back. It  DOES   work. His   name was Fleming, and  he  was a  poor  Scottish farmer. One day, while   trying to  make a living for  his  family, he  heard  a cry for help  coming from a nearby  bog. He    dropped his tools and   ran to the   bog. There,  mired  to his waist in  black   muck, was a  terrified boy, screaming  and  struggling  to  free  himself. Farmer Fleming  saved  the  lad from what could have been  a  slow  and  terrifying    death. The  next  day, a  fancy  carriage  pulled up to the   Scotsman's sparse  surroundings. An   elegantly   dressed nobleman stepped out and   introduced  himself as  the father  of  the boy Farmer Fleming   had   saved. 'I  want to repay   you,' said  the  nobleman. 'You saved my  son's    life.' 'No,   I can't accept  payment  for what  I  did,' the Scottish farmer  replied  waving  off the offer. At  that  moment,  the  farmer's own son came to  the door of the family  hovel. 'Is  that  your  son?' the   nobleman   asked. 'Yes,'  the  farmer  replied    proudly. 'I'll  make  you  a deal. Let  me  provide him with the level  of   education my own son will enjoy  If   the lad is  anything like his  father,  he'll no doubt grow to  be a    man we both will be proud of.' And that   he   did. Farmer  Fleming's son  attended  the   very best schools and  in time, graduated  from  St. Mary's   Hospital  Medical School in London,  and  went  on to become known  throughout the   world  as the noted Sir Alexander  Fleming,  the discoverer of  Penicillin. Years   afterward,  the same  nobleman's  son  who was saved from the  bog was  stricken  with  pneumonia. What   saved  his life this   time?   Penicillin. The  name of the  nobleman?   Lord  Randolph Churchill ..  His  son's   name? Sir   Winston    Churchill. Someone  once said:  What  goes  around  comes  around. Work  like  you don't  need the   money. Love  like   you've never been   hurt. Dance   like  nobody's  watching. Sing   like nobody's listening. Live   like it's Heaven on Earth.
