A farmer had a dog who used to sit by
the roadside waiting for vehicles to
come around. As soon as one came he
would run down the road, barking and
trying to overtake it. One day a
neighbor asked the farmer "Do
think your dog is ever going to
catch a car?" The farmer replied, "That
is not what bothers me. What bothers
me is what he would do if he ever
caught one." Many people in life behave
like that dog who is pursuing
meaningless goals.
Life is hard by the yard,
but by the inch,
it's a cinch.
