Wobbly Billboards

 

Every man likes for others to think highly of him. And whether he does it knowingly or unawares, he lives and advertises an image to his whole world. It becomes his calling card. It’s what others think about how he works, loves and plays.

 

At the beginning of the century, old warehouses and office buildings painted their billboards on a side wall. A wind that was strong enough to blow these billboards over had to be strong enough to topple the building itself.

 

Much frustration of the modern man comes from his attempt to prop up a wobbly billboard in a high wind. With no substance to hold up the image he is presenting, he stands little chance in the middle of the storm. A simple man builds, stone by stone, brick by brick, a life that is solid and reliable.
