As the Paddles were used to stroke Against the Resistance of the Water,   Thereby Attempting to insure their Progress,  for the Ultimate Destination across the Mighty Ocean currents.   Each stroke of the OARS met more resistance by the people manning the ship.   The Sweat began to increase on each brow,  But yet they Never gave  up Their earnest Efforts.    Even as the Winds increased and the Current became stronger,,  They pressed on toward Their Destination.   Each was Driven to Dig Deeper within themselves,  For the Stroking had become Most Difficult!!    But they were not Deterred... They knew that  the Reception waiting for them on the other side, Would be worth every bit Of Effort.   They Had to Endure!!  As they kept their focus on the ultimate Goal,,They remained Undisturbed by the Leaks,  Broken Oars,  Strong Currents,  Ever Increasing Winds AND Shouts of Dismay among the weak.   The waves began to break over the Bows of the Boat,  But the OARS DUG DEEPER and Deeper,  Drawing them ever so Closer to the Shoreline that NOW came into view..   Having seen the Shoreline,  A Great Surge of Energy came upon Each Person as they STROKED FORWARD.   EACH person continued to the the Very End,,   With that very Unusual Smile on his face and a  special kind of light in  in His Eye.   *KNOWING FULL WELL How great the Ultimate Goal would BE.  Are You prepared for the Proper use of "YOUR OARS" ??
