Plato wrote the first sentence of his famous Republic nine different ways before he was satisfied. 

Cicero practiced speaking before friends every day for thirty years to perfect his elocution. 

Noah Webster labored 36 years writing his dictionary, crossing the Atlantic twice to gather material. 

Milton rose at 4:00 am every day in order to have enough hours for his Paradise Lost. 

Gibbon spent 26 years on his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. 

Bryant rewrote one of his poetic masterpieces 99 times before publication, and it became a classic.

Thomas Edison performed 50,000 experiments before he succeeded in producing a storage battery. We might assume the famous inventor would have had some serious doubts along the way. 

But when asked if he ever became discouraged working so long without results, Edison replied, “Results? Why, I know 50,000 things that won’t work.”

Consider the 73 Cent Postage Stamp: Its Usefulness Consists in its Ability to Stick to One Thing Until It Gets There!

Wake up with determination today.  Then you can go to bed with satisfaction tomorrow!

ONLY GOD CAN TURN A MESS INTO A MESSAGE, A TEST INTO A TESTIMONY, A TRIAL INTO A TRIUMPH, AND A VICTIM INTO A VICTORY!

You know a young person who could use today’s Message. Do share it.
