Do Not Underestimate the Skill To Sort

If you want clarity of thought,
Then sorting is a skill you should give some thought.

If you want to increase your chances of becoming rich,
Then sorting is a skill you should give some thought.

If you want a tidy house,
Then sorting is a skill you should give some thought.

If you want to move up the ladder at work,
Then sorting is a skill you should give some thought.

If you have a problem that needs solving,
Then sorting is a skill you should give some thought.

If you are having a relationship that is in crisis,
Then sorting is a skill you should give some thought.

If you have money problems,
Then sorting is a skill you should give some thought.

If you are a farmer,
Chances are you will not need me to tell you,
How important it is to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Nice of you to say so Darlene. I feel so sad that so much valuable stuff goes to the tip because few now have the time or the inclination to sort through stuff. Take care David.
