“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”

France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “

Heifer is a great organization! I've given people gifts of bees, goats,
chickens and even a water buffalo. Its always very fun to buy someone a water buffalo for Christmas. They will be surprised and flattered. Its a most unique gift for the person who has everything - highly recommended.
