Wisdom – Beaver

“Inspire ourselves from the beaver to find wisdom. He possesses extraordinary
teeth. Do you know what will happen to him if he does not use his gift? Its teeth
will grow continuously and will no longer serve him for nothing. The beaver uses
his gift with wisdom to grow and we must do the same.

Don’t waste your life wishing we were somebody else. Live your life as we are. If
we receive the gift of singing, Sing! If we receive the gift of dancing, Dance! You
acquire the knowledge, you live the wisdom. Live and learn.”
