A Message to Garcia is during the Spanish and United States war and it is about a man named Rowan who is asked to deliver a message to Garcia because he is the only man that would know where he is. It is basically about Rowan going to Cuba to find Garcia and Rowan did not ask any questions about where Garcia was or where to find him. It was Eternal. It's like he knew where to go. The motivational story is saying that men are unwilling to do what they need to do but men are more worried about what goes on in their own lives than what is actually happening now. Men should be more loyal to trust other people. It's a great example of responsibility, and discipline. It's saying that men have foolish attention and only really pay attention to it if it's about them. Most men only really care about what's happening on like the weekend for example. The story is also saying that there needs to be more people in the world that can take on different tasks or extremely hard tasks and not ask questions but just do and do it well. The world needs more people that can be that responsible and that trust worthy. The story is implying that people need to their work when their bosses are there and gone. For example:
"A first mate with knotted club seems necessary; and the dread of getting "the bounce"
Saturday night holds many a worker in his place."
In my opinion I think this sentence means that people are thinking to much about the weekend or how much beer they are going to drink, how drunk are they going to get; and these thought =s are what drive them through the week of work not caring about what really is important and what really needs to be done but to these kinds of people it only means; ITS ALL ABOUT ME!!! People are not trust worthy that much anymore and the man who can deliver a message to Garcia and do it without asking questions and do it well and correctly are the people that are more independent, responsible, and something that the world needs more of.
