One of Life’s Paths
A man walks down the
sidewalk and falls into a hole. He picks himself up, dusts himself off, climbs out of the hole and moves on.
Next time this same man
walks down that same sidewalk, he sees the hole up ahead and decides to go around it. However, just as he skirts the edge of the hole, he
accidentally falls in again. As before, he picks himself up, dusts himself off, climbs out of the hole and moves on.
A third time going down
the same sidewalk, this same man walks a little farther away from the hole, trying to by-pass it. However, he trips over a rock in the path
and falls in again anyway. And as before, he picks himself up, dusts himself off, climbs out of the hole and moves on.
The forth time - - the
same man chooses a DIFFERENT sidewalk and enjoys his walk. The hole isn’t there; he doesn’t fall; there’s no need to climb out.
Success!
