Have faith in your Father in as much as in God.

A young man was getting ready to graduate fromcollege.For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's show room, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his room. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him and handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather bound bible. Angrily he raised his voice at his father and said, "with all your money you give me a bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the HOLY book.

Many years passed and the young man was very succesful in business. He had a beautiful home, and wonderful family, but realised his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since the graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a teelegram mentioing that his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son.He needed to reach home immediately and take care of things and when he arrived at his father's house, sudeen sadness and regret filleed his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still the new bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the bible.. It had a tag with dealer's name , the same dealer whio had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation and the words...".PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected ?.

Determination,Desire,Persistence and endurance-To make dream come true.

Determination & Desire with Persistence & Endurance can make dream come true.

In the year 1883, a creative and innovative engineer named Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However the bridge building experts through out the world thought, this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just cannot be done as it was not practical and had never been done before.


Roebling could not give up and ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge and thought about it all the time, and knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share his vision with some one else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an upcoming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.


Working together, for the first time, the father and son developed the concept of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration and headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.


The project started off well, but only when it was few months under way, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.


Negative comments started pouring in

“We told them so”

“Crazy men and their crazy dreams”

“It is foolish to chase a wild vision”


Every one had only negative comments to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.


He tried to inspire and passion his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in the hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside just for a moment.


It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and decided to make best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.


He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under the way again.


For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man’s indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their teamwork, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the message of her husband and told the engineers what to do.


Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a NEVER-SAY-DIE attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.


Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us, dreams that seem impossible can be realized with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.


“EVEN THE MOST DISTANT DREAM CAN BE REALISED WITH DETERMINATION, DESIRE, PERSISTENCE & ENDURANCE”


“DO NOT GIVE UP VISION AND AMBITION: DESIRE WITH DETERMINATION CAN CERTAINLY MAKE IT HAPPEN”

Time is money

How judiciously one should utilise the time:-

TAKE TIME:-

To Work - Its the price of success.
To think - Its the source of power.
To play - Its the secret of youth.
To read - Its the foundation of wisdom
To be friendly- Its the road to happiness.
To love & be loved - Its the privilege of GOD.
To look around - Its too short a day to be selfish
To laugh - Its music of soul.
&
To serve- Its the only way to be Godly.

These will bring
Clarity of vision
The strength of our resolve.
The will to implement a strategic action plan.
And enable one to take plans to logical and
successful conclusion.
&
Always remember "TIME IS MONEY" use it judiciously & purposefully to yield
better results and returns.

"The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us.
duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that
duty."

-- Abraham Lincoln


Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln.
If you want to learn about somebody who didn't quit, look no
Further.

Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his
Life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and
Suffered a nervous breakdown. He could have quit many times---but
He didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the
greatest presidents in the history of our country. Lincoln was a
Champion and he never gave up. Here is a sketch of Lincoln's road
to the White House...

1816 His family was forced out of their home. He had to work to
support them.

1818 His mother died

1831 Failed in business

1832 Ran for state legislature - LOST.

1832 Also lost his job - wanted to go to law school but couldn't
get in.

1833 Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business & by
the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years
of his life paying off this debt.

1834 Ran for state legislature again - WON

1835 Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was
broken.

1836 Had a total nervous breakdown & was in bed for six months.

1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature - DEFEATED


1840 Sought to become elector - DEFEATED

1843 Ran for Congress - LOST

1846 Ran for Congress again - this time he WON

1848 Ran for reelection to Congress - LOST

1849 Sought the job of land officer in his home state. - REJECTED


1854 Ran for Senate of the United State - LOST

1856 Sought the Vice-Presidential nomination at his party's
national convention - got less than 100 votes - LOST

1858 Ran for U. S. Senate again - LOST

1860 Elected president of the United States!


As you can see Mr. Lincoln never gave up, don't you!


The Gettysburg AddressGettysburg, PennsylvaniaNovember 19, 1863
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate -- we cannot consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

PRESCRIPTION FOR SUCCESS

Please take this six words formula for success and do it to see success:-

"Think things thorough,then follow through"

Success has no option but COME TO YOU.
