HE SAILED ON...


MEN DO NOT FAIL. THEY JUST GIVE UP EASILY.
On his voyage to discover America, day after day no land appeared; again and again his sailors threatened mutiny, persuading him to turn back. Christopher Columbus refused to listen to their entreaties and entered each day in the ship’s log book these two words: “Sailed on!”
They sailed on. They reached their goal. If he had turned back, nobody, probably, would have known Columbus.
You might have been holding on for so long, with no sunshine in sight. Have you read all the books, listened to all the tapes, attend all the seminars, follow all the rules and work real hard without achieving it? Then the best thing to do right now is: Don’t Give Up! “Oh, same old news”. I agree; but its not just old news. Its old news, good news, new news and only news: that’s if you want to achieve success.
Holman Hunt, who painted “The light of the world”, was once asked by an admirer, the technique of drawing freehand circles as perfect as his. “All you need to do “ he replied, “is to practice eight hours a day for forty years”.
MEN DO NOT FAIL. THEY JUST GIVE UP EASILY.
