Description
We sometimes feel intimidated or inferior keeping company with those we perceive as smarter or better than us, whether in academics, sports, music, or even prayer. Instead of associating with these talented individuals and letting their gifts rub off on us so we can accomplish more, we move away from them. Tortoise knew he could not shake the bridge by himself or even with his whole family. But he was not afraid of keeping company with the elephant, and as a result, he achieved his desire.
