THE OAK AND THE REEDS
<p>
There is an old fable in which the mighty oak tree which stood for over one hundred years finally was blown over by a storm. The tree
feel into a river that floated it downstream until it came to rest among the reeds growing along the riverbank. The fallen giant asked
the reeds in amazement, "How is it that you were able to weather the storm that was too powerful for me, an oak tree, to withstand?"<br><br>
The reeds replied, "All these years you stubbornly resisted the winds that swept your way. You took such pride in your strength that you
refused to yield, even a little bit. We, on the other hand, have not resisted the winds, but have always bent with them. We recognized
the superior power of the wind and so, the harder the wind blew the more we humbled ourselves before it." <br><br>
Always remember to bend with the wind, and you won't be blown over by the storm!
