Horseshoes that lost a nation

This time I wanna share a story I read the other day

" According to the British history, King Richard the third was about to go to a battle. So he sent his man to get his battle horse ready, however the horseshoe maker said to him, ' I am so sorry, we ran out of horseshoes and nails, the horse won't be ready for another 3 days. '. Then the man was being so impatient and said, ' I cannot afford to wait for another 3 days, then use whatever you have to get the job done! '.
Therefore the horseshoe maker found four used horseshoes and some old nails, and installed them onto the King's battle horse. However, he ran out of nails on the last horseshoe, so he only nailed two nails onto the last horseshoe, and the impatient man sent from the King Richard thought two nails should hold the horseshoe and then he returned the battle horse back to King Richard.
As a result, during the battle, one of the horseshoes came off of King Richard battle horse, and the horse fell off the ground, then King Richard was captured alive.

With this in mind, a nail ruins a horseshoe. A horseshoe ruins a horse. A horse ruins a knight. A knight ruins a battle. And a battle lost a nation.

A catastrophic disaster often starts off from a tiny little mistake. Therefore think twice or more before making any decision.

" But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. " (Matthew 5 : 22)
