Amerikali yazar ve motivasyon kocu Felice Leonardo 'Leo' Buscaglia'nin olum yildonumu ( 12 Haziran 1998 )
" Resim ogretmeni obur siniftan bize kosarak gelir, ancak basini biraz egerek selam verme firsati bulur ve konusmaya baslardi: 'Cocuklar, bugun bir agac resmi cizecegiz. Kara tahtaya yaklasir, buyuk bir yesil top ve kucuk bir kahverengi govde halince kendi agacini cizerdi. Elma sekeri bicimindeki o agaclari dusunun. Yasamim boyunca ben bu bicimde bir agaci hic gormedim. Oysa ogretmen agacini boyle cizer ve 'Haydi cocuklar, siz de cizin' derdi. Herkes ugrasmaya baslar, resmi cizerdi.
O kucuk yasta bile bir sagduyunuz varsa, kadin ogretmenin sizden onun agacini cizmenizi istedigini sezinlerdiniz. Cunku cizimde onun agacina yakinlastikca daha iyi notlar alirdiniz. Eger bu durumu daha birinci inifta sezinlemisseniz, kucuk bir elma sekeri sekli cizer ve ogretmen de, 'Oh! Bu cok guzel olmus. Neredeyse Tanrisal bir agac!' derdi. Oysa siniftan, bu ogretmenin yasaminda hic agac gormemis oldugunu anlayacak kadar agaclari taniyan ogrenciler de cikardi. Boyle ogrenciler agaca tirmanmis, govdesini kollariyla sarmis, dalindan yere dusmus ve agacin yapraklari arasinda esen ruzgarin sesini dinlemis cocuklar olurdu. Bunlar agaci gercekten tanir ve elma sekeri olmadıigini bilirlerdi! Bu yuzden once ellerine mor, sari, turuncu, yesil ve morumsu kirmizi renkleri alir; sonunda guzel ve farkli bir resim cizip ogretmene verirlerdi. Kadin boyle bir resme bakar bakmaz cocuga haykirıidi: ' Beyni arizali cocuk seni! ' "
" The art teacher comes racing in from another class and has time only to nod to the teacher, turn around and say, 'Boys and girls, today we are going to draw a tree.' She goes to the blackboard, and she draws her tree which is a great big green ball with a little brown base. Remember those lollipop trees? I never saw a tree that looked like that in my life, but she puts it up there, and she says, 'All right, boys and girls, draw.' Everybody gets busy and draws.
If you have any sense, even at that early age, you realize that what she really wanted was for you to draw her tree, because the closer you got to her tree, the better your grade. If you already realized this in grade one, then you handed in a little lollipop, and she said, 'oh, that’s divine.' But here’s Junior who really knows a tree as this little woman has never seen a tree in her life. He’s climbed a tree, he’s hugged a tree, he’s fallen out of a tree, he’s listened to the breeze blow through the branches. He really knows a tree, and he knows that a tree isn’t a lollipop! So he takes purple and yellow and orange and green and magenta crayons and he draws this beautiful freaky thing and hands it in. She takes one look and shrieks. ' Brain damaged! ' ”
