Two friends met after not seeing each other for a long time. One had gone to college and was now very successful. The other hadn\u2019t gone to college and never had much ambition, yet he still seemed to be doing well.<\/p>\n
The college graduate asked his friend, \u201cHow has everything been going with you?\u201d<\/p>\n
The less-educated man replied, \u201cWell, one day, I opened my Bible at random and dropped my finger on a page. The word under my finger was oil<\/i>. So I invested in oil, and boy, did the oil wells gush. Then I tried the same method again, and my finger stopped on the word gold<\/i>. So I invested in gold, and those mines really produced. Now I\u2019m as rich as Rockefeller.\u201d<\/p>\n
