The Grand Canyon is a seventh Natural Wonder of the World. It is an impressive testament to the power of water. The canyon was formed millions of years ago when water drained off the Rocky Mountains to form the Colorado River. The river ultimately carved a canyon 227 miles long and at some points 10 miles wide.
The Grand Canyon is an example of the quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. “In the confrontation between stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance” is an inspirational quote in his publication Life’s Little Instruction Book, written for his son going to college. His book was on the New York Times best seller list for over two years.
So, why is a pharmacist writing about the Grand Canyon? Well, it has more to do with perseverance than forging water through rocks!
