Little leaks sink the ship - Proverb for January 12


Today we focus on the proverb that "Little leaks sink the ship".  The meaning is pretty straight forward for this proverb.  We see situations where something that was otherwise large and powerful is brought down even through small events.  This has happened in governments where one or several mistakes cause a collapse at the top.  We see it in businesses where they ignore the customer or market and then allow competition to take over.  We see it in individuals who have lost everything due to what seems a small mistake or lack of judgment. 

For a personal application this proverb reminds me about the importance of integrity in all aspects of life to avoid those things which might destroy us.
