Bible Note: You know, rakpak, I can't tell you how many times I listened to some winner of a contest being interviewed and the interviewer will say: "Well you had a bad start, but you persevered and pulled off the win! Or the consistent will say: "I had a bad start, but didn't quit, and here I am in the winners circle holding the trophy!" I think one of the most famous quotes from a commencement speech at a university graduation ceremony, was given by Winston Churchill. Arguably one of the greatest orators of all time and it was expected he would give a great speech that day. He stood there for quite some time before he began to speak. When all was very quite, and all were becoming a little uncomfortable waiting for him to speak, he simply said: "Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never.... give up!" And then, he turned around and slowly walked off the stage.... There have been probably thousands of speeches given at those kind of events that are soon forgotten, but, No one there that day, ever forgot that speech. John |
