If At First You Don’t Succeed, Try Again

Plato wrote the first sentence of his famous Republic nine different ways before he was satisfied.

Cicero practiced speaking before friends every day for thirty years to perfect his elocution.

Noah Webster labored 36 years writing his dictionary, crossing the Atlantic twice to gather material.

Milton rose at 4:00 am every day in order to have enough hours for his Paradise Lost.

Gibbon spent 26 years on his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Bryant rewrote one of his poetic masterpieces 99 times before publication, and it became a classic.

It is said that Thomas Edison performed 50,000 (sic) experiments before he succeeded in producing a storage battery. We might assume the famous inventor would have had some serious doubts along the way. But when asked if he ever became discouraged working so long without results, Edison replied, “Results? Why, I know 50,000 things that won’t work.”

7/18–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:



When their son left for his freshman year at Duke University, his parents gave him a Bible, assuring him it would be a great help. Later, as he began sending them letters asking for money, they would write back telling him to read his Bible, citing chapter and verse. He would reply that he was reading the Bible–but he still needed money.

When he came home for a semester break, his parents told him they knew he had not been reading his Bible. How? They had tucked $10 and $20 bills by the verses they had cited in their letters.

Scripture:

Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

The Story Of The King Who Needed A Kidney

-A King stood high above his subjects on a balcon y. I need a kidney and I wonder if any of you below would be willing to give me one of yours? I know it is asking a lot and would be a great sacrifice! A loud cry went up from the majority crying loudly let it be me, please let it be me!!

The King turned to his main aide and asked how can I choose among them since so many want to volunteer? There was a feather near his feet and he got an idea! He told his subjects I know what I’ll do, I’ll drop this feather and whoever it lands on will get the honor of donating me a kidney.

As the feather came slowly descending a swooshing sound could be heard as the subjects started blowing the feather. This is the way of a lot of people that tell God let me, let me God. But when God says ok go ahead they start trying to shift the load off them and onto someone else! They start to blow the feather away from themselves.

NO ONE gets to write your story but you. Steph Curry

Story:

I have written a lot lately about animals and insects because they are so amazing. When they come to earth they are hardwired with what they need. Nobody tells the birds that it’s time to fly south for the winter. They just come with the knowledge that they need.

Man, when he arrives on the other hand, only knows how to cry when he is hungry and not much else. Everything else is learned.

I know there’s many versions of the eagle and the chicken but I will tell the version that I know. An eagle’s egg got mixed up with some chicken eggs. It hatched out with some of the other chickens. Since the eagle couldn’t see himself he thought that he was a chicken. He pecked on the ground and only jumped a few feet. He imitated everything he saw  his brothers and sisters do. 

One day, while outside with his mother, he saw a  majestic eagle fly above them. He wished so much that he could do that and fly so high. He told his mother that he would give about anything to be an eagle and be able to fly that high! She told him that he was a chicken and would always be a chicken.

You could be an eagle if you wouldn’t be so much of a chicken!!

Story:

There are people who would like to finish college and obtain their degree, but think they are too old because they are forty.

They will make a statement that they will be almost forty-five by the time they finish.

Well, I want to know how old they will be in five years if they don’t get their degree?

The very fact that woke you up this morning means God is not through with you yet!

Can You Spare A Minute 7/16?

A Critic By Any Other Name Is Still A Critic

Maybe they are someone people look at as judges. Some feel though they are only calling it like they see it or telling it like it is.

If you have to knock someone else down two notches to elevate yourself one notch, you weren’t anywhere to start with.

They work at the rumor mill where they manufacture things that don’t build anyone or anything up.

Matthew 12:34-37 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Idle words are words that have no profit or benefit to be spoken. They may have some truth but do nothing to help anyone or their situation.

You can call a Critic someone who wants to hold it like it is, tell it like it is or whatever, but they are still a Critic.

I have trouble with the three C’s– criticize, condemn and complain.

Start Right Now Being The Director Of Your Life

Almost everyone was born with the same things: A Brain, Two Eyes, Two Ears, etc. You can be whatever you set that brain ( your mind) you came with the desire to .

If a caterpillar can turn into a butterfly, you can be transformed into something much better than you start with.

You have to be willing to let somebody help you change. You have to be open and you’ve got to give someone permission to push it then not be offended

A tree will never be anything but a tree. A pine tree will never turn into an oak tree.

A dog will never be anything but a dog. A poodle dog will never turn into a German Shepherd. But you have the ability to change and to become.

I would try to change but I’m 50 years old, and it will probably take five years.

How old will you be in five years if you don’t change. Won’t you still be 55?

It’s up to you. You are the director of your life and no one can do it for you or hold you back, but you!
