10 years ago
General
Our scene opens in October, 1907 at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts where an angry 17 year old student storms into the guidance counselors office...
Student - "This is an outrage. My life is over! What am I going to do now?
Guidance Counselor - "Calm down lad, what seems to be the problem?"
Student - "All my life all I've ever dreamed of doing is to become a famous artist. It's the only thing I ever thought I was good at. But my art instructor hates my art. He says I have absolutely no talent at all and the best thing I could do for the art world is to drop out and never set foot in an art academy ever again"!
Guidance Counselor - "Your art teacher said that? Who's your teacher?"
Student - " Professor Goldberg. God I HATE him and ALL his kind."
Guidance Counselor - "Now now, no need for that kind of talk, lad. And don't take him to heart. I know him. He's just a loud mouth. But listen. Maybe. Just maybe art isn't really your thing. Maybe this is a sign for you to go and try something else."
Student - "But what? I'm not GOOD at anything else. I have no real education. I have no training in any trades. And I have no place else to go from here. What else IS there for me?"
Guidance Counselor - "Well here's an idea. why not... join the army?
Student - "The army?"
Guidance Counselor - "Sure. Why not? Think about it. The army will give you a home. They'll feed you and clothe you. They'll train you in many skills. They'll get you in the best physical condition you'll ever be in in your life. They will make a man out of you and build your confidence to levels you never thought you could achieve. You seem like a bright and ambitious young man. Who knows. When you get out, maybe you can find you have what it takes to give politics a go. "
Student - You're right. I'll do it. Thank you for your good advice. I will go out and achieve greatness. And I'll have YOU to thank for it!
Guidance Counselor - That's the spirit, lad. Now go out and grab the world!
Student - "I will do that and more. Thank you"
Guidance Counselor - "By the way, what's you're name, lad?
Student - Hitler! Adolph Hitler! ...
And this concludes our little episode of "NOT so great moments in history". Hope you enjoyed.
