Policeman in Longham, England, caught two youths after they allegedly stole a car from front of garage. The youngsters had pushed the car a mile and when, when caught, told police they couldn't understand why it wouldn't start.
Yes, the key was in the ignition, and it was turned on. The police soon discovered the cause of the trouble: there was no engine! The garage owner explained that he had taken the old engine out and had not put the new
one in yet.
We push a car with no engine when we try to get something for nothing. There are no free lunches, no easy roads to real success, and no victories without sacrifices.
We push a car without an engine when we fail to give a day's work for a day's pay. We're the losers in the long run- or the long push.
