Three Feet From Gold
It’s a lot easier to quit and say “Oh well, that wasn’t for me” than it is to follow through and see where you end up.
I want to share something with you from the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.
Read the following and see what it means to you:
“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by TEMPORARY DEFEAT. Every person is guilty of this at one time or another.
An uncle of R.U.Darby was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. He had never heard that ‘more gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth’. He staked his claim and went to work with pick and shovel.
After weeks of labour, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. Quietly, he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Williamsburg, Maryland, told his relatives and a few neighbours of the ’strike’.
They got together the money for the needed machinery, and had it shipped. The uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.
The first car of ore was mined and shipped to a smelter. The returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado ! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big killing in profits.
Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Darby and Uncle! Then something happened. The vein of gold ore disappeared! They had come to end of the rainbow and the pot of gold was no longer there. They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again – all to no avail.
Finally, they decided to QUIT.
They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with “fault lines”.
His calculations showed that the vein would be found ‘just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling !’ That is exactly where it was found!
The junk man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine because he knew enough to seek expert counsel before giving up.”
“FAILURE is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach.”
Napoleon Hill
Think & Grow Rich
Something I strongly believe is that success begins the moment you choose success. Successful is a word the describes someone who has chosen success and followed through.
