A story is told about an oilman who started to drill a new well on his land. In oil field jargon, the drilling pipe is called a "rope." After drilling a deep hole, there was no oil to be found. The owner decided that it was a dead hole, and told the crew boss to cap the well. He would write it off as a complete loss. Meanwhile, the foreman called to the driller and asked how much "rope" was left on the rig. "About six to eight feet," replied the driller. "Then keep on drilling deeper," shouted the foreman. After drilling only two feet more, the well struck oil, and was one of the most productive wells in the entire oil field. We can learn a lot about life from the drilling of an oil well; while there is still rope, there is still room for hope.  Quote this article on your site | Views: 631 | Print | E-mail
