EVERYTHING I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM NOAH'S ARK

from David Sisler


  • Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

  • Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something really big.

  • Don't listen to critics. Just get on with the job which has to be done.

  • Build on the high ground.

  • For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

  • Two heads are better than one.

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

  • If you can't fight or flee – float.

  • Don't forget that we're all in the same boat.

  • When the doo-doo gets really deep, don't sit there and complain – shovel!

  • Stay below deck during the storm.

  • Remember that the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals.

  • If you have to start over, have a friend by your side.

  • Remember that the woodpeckers inside are often a bigger threat than the storm outside.

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

  • DON'T MISS THE BOAT!
