Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....
"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India who would make you starve, if you don't."

This one should be reworded by Mr. Thomas Friedman ... it goes like ..."When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the starving children in Africa and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India who would make you starve, if you don't.'"
Some more to it .. i really wonder if Tom has changed "starving children in Africa" to India just to make it fit to context...:-)
