LIVE THE VISION
‘The
young do not know enough to be prudent, therefore they attempt the
impossible, and achieve it generation after generation.’Pearl S. Buck
The Pilgrims who founded America landed at Plymouth Rock full of vision. The first year they established a town, the next year they elected a town council. In their third year the town council proposed building a road five miles out into the wilderness for westward expansion. But the townspeople criticised it as a waste of public funds. Amazing! Once they had been able to see across oceans to new worlds, now they couldn’t see five miles down the road. What happened? They failed to keep their vision alive.
