Lessons Learned From Noah's Ark

The following lessons can be learned from the story of Noah's Ark:

One: Don’t miss the boat (or the plane).

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. Remember that failing to plan, is planning to fail. It was not raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four: Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you’re stressed, float a while.

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

Eleven: No matter the storm, when your are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting. —Selected from the Montana Street bulletin
