Where there is a will...

Where there is a will there is a way. Aesop's fable of "The Crow and the Pitcher" illustrates the need to be persistent and resourceful in our endeavors. Once upon a time there was a thirsty crow long in quest of water. At last her keen searching eye spotted a pitcher. Flying toward the pitcher, she noticed that the level of water in the vessel was quite low. Miss Crow mused, "I must have that water to live but I am too tired to fly elsewhere." Therefore, she tried to reach the water by tipping over the pitcher but could not move it.
