LANGSTON HUGHES

Langston’s suggestion is much like the Bible story about building one’s house on rock rather than sand. The story is referring to making sure one’s spiritual foundation is strong so that they can weather any of life’s storm’s because they build their life from a rock- solid foundation. This saying is true rather if spiritual or otherwise and is good advice that is easier said than done. Much work and patience is required to lay down the necessary groundwork needed to secure the best future. Certain steps and processes must be taken at the right time to get the most out of life like going to college before starting a family for instance. If college is complete and one is financially secure when they start a family they are more likely to succeed and help their children achieve more when steps are taken in the right order to build a strong foundation for ones life, relationships, and future.
