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."

Always remember to bend with the wind

and you won't be blown over by the storm!

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?"
