A great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary
for him to make a decisions which insured his success on the
battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful
foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into
boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and
equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried
them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, “you see
the boats going up in smoke. That means we cannot leave these
shores alive unless we win. We now have no choice- we win- or
we perish.
They won.
Every great leader, from the dawn of civilization down to the
present, was a dreamer.
If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never
see them in your bank account.
Tolerance and an open mind are practical necessities of the
dreamer of today. Those who are afraid of new ideas are doomed
before they start.
If the thing you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead
and do it.
EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN
EQUIVALENT SUCCESS.
