Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your day to read my post.  My intent is to put a smile on your face.  Hopefully you’ll go away with some information you may have forgotten about or did not know.  Now sit back and enjoy the post for the day.

We have all heard of the great Greek philosopher Socrates.  Prior to him being recognized as such for what trade did he train for?  Well I’m here to tell you he was trained as a stonecutter. 

If you liked what you’ve read take a moment and join us at http://activerain.com/groups/trivia21.

 

Remember to smile.  It will make people wonder what you have been up to.

Well, stone cutter to geologist isn't that different than a transition from stone cutter to philosopher, but it still doesn't explain the first career of many real estate agents, LOL.

James,

Love this one about Socrates, if you had to cut stone on a daily basis, it is easy to see why you could become a philosopher. A

You are so right about this aspect of smiling.  It has become such a rare commodity, people think you are up to something!!!
