Prison GTD | Helping your dad dig the garden

Here’s a funny story that made me laugh out loud. How to help your old man dig his potato garden if you are in prison?

The solution is simple, but most of us would never think of it.

An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his potato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son Fred, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Fred,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love,
Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, don't dig up that garden! That's where I buried the BODIES!
Love,
Fred

At 4am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love,
Fred

This story isn’t just fun, it also carries an important message: there is always a way!

If Fred managed to find a way to dig his dad’s garden from within the walls of his prison, then imagine what you can do, with so much freedom on your hands! It’s not impossible for you to become the next Bill Gates or to travel in space.

Whatever your dream is, there is always a way to achieve it. Just look around and you’ll find it. If a prisoner and a snail have achieved things that seemed impossible, then impossible is nothing!

Keep moving forward and start looking around!
