We Are All in the Same Boat

Prosperity is what our forefathers wouldn't have talked about so glowingly if they had known we were going to be it!

There is an ancient story about being in the same boat; Three men were in a boat, none of whom could swim.

When they got out to midstream, one man took an auger and started to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. The other two shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Tend to your own business," the man said.

"I am boring a hole beneath my seat only, and not beneath yours."

"But," they shouted, "we are all in the same boat."

That story is two thousand years old. It is as true today, if not truer, than when it was written. A good way to widen out the straight and narrow path would be for more people to walk on it!

Carles F. Kettering said; "My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there."
