One Small Step for A Man.....perception is everything...

This story goes to show how the way you want to see, hear, or think about things changes the world. I remember being in gradeschool and being taught about the moon landings. My teacher's taught us about how Incredible the U.S. was and how humility has always played a part in our dealings with the world. Specifically, I remember one teacher spending the entire day talking about how Neil Armstrong had said "One small step for man..." and not "One small step for a man..." or "One small step for America...", I was really impressed and that lesson stayed with me. By not using the grammatically correct 'a man', Armstrong had included all humans in his moment of victory. He had taken the glory from himself and his country and put it on the entire world. Well, it was a nice way to view the world...it just wasn't correct...
