Thoughts from the 1800`s - Still Relevant, Timeless
Excerpt from a book printed in 1879 -
Note: Truths are Truths - regardless of the age in which they are written:
Excerpt: (Not a word was changed)
`None out of every 10 who fail in life - get discouraged and give up before the battle is fairly won. They lose hope and heart. They lack courage and faith. They become impatient at the slow results of their toil. They cannot learn to `labor and wait`. But no one can succeed in life by pursuing such a course.
It is only by a resolute holding on, and a patient continuance in well-doing, that the end of a journey is reached. Nearly all really great men began life at the foot of the ladder, and worked their way up by slow degrees, and through many trials and difficulties. And so, my reader, you must make up your mind to do the same, or stay where you are and abandon all hopes of preferment`.
Hope you found this of interest, and of some value!
See ya!
