MEANINGLESS GOALS

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 you
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.
