The name “iceberg ahead” is
synonymous with the Titanic. The lookouts’ duty on the Titanic was to alert the
crew of icebergs in their path. Just like the Titanic
we think we are unsinkable. If we do not look ahead and recognize our
“icebergs”, we too could end with the same fate as the Titanic. There are both
environmental and social issues that can sink mankind. These issues need to be
addressed and solutions found for us to stay on course.
A little known fact is that
if the Titanic had turned six feet earlier, it would have missed the iceberg and
changed history as we know it. |
