Advice on Perserverance

Last night I went to dinner with my dad. His encouraging words included the following story:

While the Jews were leaving Egypt, and the time came for the people to cross the water, they were scared of not surviving the journey.

Moses said "Hurry up, run! The Egyptians are right behind you! Besides, a little water wont hurt."

The moral of the story: A little water wont hurt.
