Lessons in Durability: A Reunion Story

Dear friends, today I’d like to share a story with you. A story that taught me a valuable lesson about durability. It’s a tale from a reunion, a gathering of old friends, and a bridge that stood the test of time.

The Reunion

It was the summer of ’85, and the air was thick with anticipation. Our old school was hosting a reunion, and we were all excited to see familiar faces, some of which we hadn’t seen in decades. The nostalgia was palpable, but little did we know, the most significant lesson was yet to come.

The Bridge

Behind our school, there was an old wooden bridge. We used to cross it every day, a symbol of our journey towards knowledge and growth. It was old and weathered, but it stood strong, just like our memories.

During the reunion, we decided to visit this old friend. As we approached, we noticed something remarkable. Despite the years, the bridge was still there, still standing. It had weathered storms, faced the harsh sun, and bore the weight of countless footsteps, yet it remained unyielding.

The Lesson

Seeing the bridge in its enduring glory, I realized the profound lesson it held. Durability isn’t about being the strongest or the most impressive; it’s about standing firm, weathering the storms, and still being there when the dust settles.

Just like the bridge, we face various challenges in life. We endure hardships, weather personal storms, and sometimes feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. But remember, it’s not about how hard you can hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

So, my dear friends, be like the bridge. Stand firm, endure, and remember that durability is about resilience, not strength. And when life’s storms come, as they inevitably will, remember the bridge and stand tall.

Until next time, remember to be durable, be resilient, and keep moving forward.

Yours in wisdom,
