Plan ahead for potential problems even when things seem calm. Have the determination to complete important tasks, no matter how big they may seem. Do not listen to critics who try to discourage you from doing what needs to be done. Build on stable, high ground and travel in groups for safety. Do not rush through challenges, as taking your time can be advantageous. When facing difficulties, remain calm and patient. Take care of others as best as you can. Work together cooperatively to overcome challenges. Face problems directly and solve them instead of complaining. Remain safe during difficult times. Even amateurs can accomplish great things with determination, while professionals may fail without passion. Having support from others helps when facing setbacks. Internal struggles

1. Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark

2. 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. Get on with the job that has to be done. Build on the high ground. For safety's sake, travel in pairs. Two heads are better than one.

3. Speed isn't always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails. When you’re stressed, float for a while. If you can't fight or flee - float. Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on earth. 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

4. 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 what the storm, when you’re with God, there's always a rainbow on the other side. DON'T MISS THE BOAT !!!! ~Author unknown~
