| Romans 1:18 |
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in
unrighteousness |
| Job 11:10 |
If he pass through, and shut up, And call unto
judgment, then who can hinder him? |
| Isaiah 43:13 |
Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none
that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it? |
| Genesis 24:56 |
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Jehovah
hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master. |
There are few who have reached the top who have not been
handicapped. Obstacles stand in the way of the man who climbs. I don't know why
this is, but I know it is true. These obstacles have to be overcome, but in the
overcoming one fits himself for places of responsibility.
I thank God for poverty, for need of self-denial, for self-culture, for long
hours of study and hard work. The inward drive to plod on when tired is
the thing which makes men strong, self-reliant conquerors. Every failure
stimulates them to harder work. There is no giving up. There is no
yielding. Facing impossible circumstances becomes a daily experience to
the conqueror.
 | He learns to win.
He has cultivated the will to win, the will to conquer. |
| He kept the fires of ambition burning. |
| He has made work a part of himself. |
| He has a group of very fine habits.
 | One of them is the habit of study, |
| and an other the habit of control of his eyes and ears,
the control of his passions and ambitions. He is master.
|
|
| He is the man who uses the public library and second-hand book stores. |
| He is ever studying to improve himself in his place. |
| He knows his trade, his business, his profession. |
| He makes himself an authority in his particular field. |
| He counts his handicaps a blessing. |
| He goes on with God and wins. |
No man is a failure until he lies down and the undertaker puts him under the
sod.
