Aim Higher
Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 29, 2008 (message contributor)
AIM HIGHER
Several years ago I read where some mountain hunters had played a trick on another hunter in their COON CLUB. They lowered the sight on his rifle.
After they did this their friend was missing everything at which he was shooting. He shot at a raccoon in a tree. Of course his bullet went under the coon. One of the hunters climbed the tree and shook the tree. The coon fell out of the tree on one of the "JOKERS" head.
The friend that had his GUN SIGHT ALTERED took aim at the COON on top of his friend’s head...
As the coon was resting on his head, the JOKER started WHISPERING AS LOUD AS HE COULD: AIM HIGH! PLEASE, AIM HIGH! SOMETIMES IN LIFE WE MUST AIM HIGHER.
It is better to aim at a star and hit the moon, than it is to land in the MUD-PUDDLE EVERY TIME.
