Noah's Ark

 

Everything
you
need to
know, you
can learn
from
  
Noah's
Ark
. . .

  1. Don't miss the boat.

  2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.

  3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

  4. Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

  5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

  6. Build your future on high ground.

  7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

  8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

  9. When you are stressed, float a while.

  10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

  11. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.
