               A violin virtuoso  living in"  America truly  believed  that  he  could
               play  so well  that he  could actually charm a  savage  beast. De-
               spite  the  warnings and pleas  of his  friends, he decided he would
               go to darkest Africa, unarmed, with only his violin.
                 He  stood  in a clearing in the  dense jungle  and began  to  play.
               An elephant  received  his scent,  and came  charging  towards him;
               but, when he  came within hearing distance, he sat down to
               listen to the beautiful music.
                 A panther sprang from a  tree with fangs bared,  but  also
               succumbed to  the music. Soon a  lion  appeared  to  join  the
               others.  Before  long,  many wild animals were  seated near the
               virtuoso; he played on, unharmed.
                 Just  then a  leopard leaped  from  a nearby tree, onto  the
               violinist, and  devoured him! As he stood  licking his chops,  the
               other  animals  approached, and asked,  "Why did you do that?
               The man was playing such lovely music!"
                 The leopard, cupping his ear, said, "Eh, what did you say?"



               So  you see, no matter  how beautiful  music  is, unfortunately,
               if you  can't hear  it, it  doesn't  mean a  thing. Similarly, no
               matter how  useful  and helpful  the systems in this  book
               are,  they won't do you a bit of good if you  don't use them.
               I do hope  that  most  of  you have given some  time  and
               thought  to them.  If you  have,  you should be  pleased with
               the progress you've  made. The flexibility of the systems,  I
               believe,  is  their greatest  asset.  I, personally, have yet to
