A winner is just a loser who tried one more time.” – George M. More.
The Chinese Bamboo Tree takes five years to spring out from the ground and grows 90ft tall within six weeks thereafter! The farmer would have watered the tree for five good years without any physical evidence of growing. Onlookers will naturally mock the owner of the Bamboo tree for putting a lot of energy in a failed venture. But here’s the good news, the tree recovers all in six weeks. The owner of the tree smiles home and provides for generation to come. This is the miracle of the Bamboo tree.
Some if us are passing through our bamboo tree experience.
Are we going to throw in the towel? Would you give up because you failed the first time? Nay! Winners don’t quit.
Life’s journey is filled with challenges. You must step up your game if you want to overcome these challenges. Once you are clear with your vision and mission, then invest necessarily efforts to actualize them. You must not get it right at the first instance. Only God gets it right the first time. The popular maxim, ‘‘winners don’t quit’’ comes handy at a time like this. You can’t quit. You must fight on if you want to win the battles of life. You can lose today and come back to win tomorrow only if you continue to try.
Losers are the ones who fail to try the second time. When you try and fail, get up and try again. The owner of the Bamboo Tree kept the dream alive by watering the tree daily. He didn’t give up even when people gave up on him and on the tree. This is the mindset of champions.
What is your story? Do you want to surrender? Don’t give up. You have the pen and paper. You are the scriptwriter. Write a beautiful story about yourself. You are the director of this movie. Believe your story will end well. It’s your call. No one will do this for you. Rise up now and get things done.
Get busy, till the ground, plan, think, network, dream big, pray and call on God, believe and work hard. You can’t get it wrong when you go this way.
Keep the hope alive by believing in yourself and in your dreams. There’s no stopping you.
This is your day.
