Howdy :), it's me, Joe Cosity here!
Two partners in the garment industry had just suffered
through their worst season ever. Ten thousand madras sports
coats were hanging on the rack unsold, and bankruptcy was
looming closer.
Completely out of the blue, a buyer walked in from Australia.
"I say there," he began, "you boys wouldn't have any madras
sports coats, would you? I've been looking for them
everywhere."
The first partner, hardly containing his eagerness to sell
the coats, mentioned that there MIGHT be a few left. Soon a
deal was made and the ten thousand jackets were scheduled to
be shipped to Australia at a handsome profit.
"There is one thing though," the Australian buyer said. "For
an order this large I'll have to get confirmation from my
home office. I don't anticipate any problem, and unless I
send you a telegram by this Friday, the deal goes through as
planned."
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday passed slowly, with the
partners nervously waiting to see if the Australian would
change his mind. Friday morning also went by without
incident.
The partners were just closing up shop when there was a
knock on the door.
"Telegram!" came the voice outside.
The partners froze. Trembling, the first partner grabbed the
telegram and tore it open. Suddenly, his face lit up. Turning
to the other partner, he heaved a sigh of relief. "GREAT
NEWS! Your sister just died!"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for
there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in
the grave, whither thou goest.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to
the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread
to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet
favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to
them all.
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are
taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in
the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time,
when it falleth suddenly upon them. This wisdom have I seen
also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: There was a
little city, and few men within it; and there came a great
king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks
against it.
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his
wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same
poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength:
nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his
words are not heard.
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry
of him that ruleth among fools. Wisdom is better than
weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
-Ecclesiastes 9:10
I'm glad you could join me for today's content, and I look
forward to bringing you more next time!
Until then, bye-bye!
