Posted by Vishva News Reporter on January 29, 2008 |
NEVER QUIT IN LIFE
Winners never quit and
quitters never win. - Vince Lombardi
Fight the tendency to quit while you’re
behind. ~ Dave Weinbaum
Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in
the world.
Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it.
When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach
it.
Never quit. ~ Bear Bryant
If you must play, decide upon three things
at the start:
the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.
~ Chinese Proverb
The first time you quit, it's hard.
The second time, it gets easier.
The third time, you don't even have to think about it. ~
Bear Bryant
Success seems to be connected with action.
Successful people keep moving.
They make mistakes, but they don't quit. ~ Conrad Hilton

A Winner Never Quits is a 1986 TV movie based on the
true story of baseball player Pete Gray, the only one-armed man ever to
play major league baseball, hired in 1943 as a "freak attraction" and
wartime morale-booster by the Memphis Chicks, Class-A minor league ball
club.
Though a success, Gray maintains a tough, defensive veneer, which is
softened only by the love of his life Annie and the adulation of
baseball fan Nelson Gary Jr., who has also lost an arm (and who would,
in real life, become a top minor-league ballplayer himself). With the
war depleting big-league baseball's manpower in 1945, Pete Gray finally
achieves his goal of entering the Majors when he is hired by the St.
Louis Browns.f
Raised in the in the Northeastern Pennsylvania mining town of Nanticoke,
Pete Gray lost his right arm while still a young boy. But through the
encouragement of his immigrant parents Antoinette and Peter Wyshner, Sr.
and the constant coaching of his older brother Whitey, Gray never gives
up on his dream of playing professional baseball. Driven by anger, he
finally makes it to the big leagues. But it isn't until he agrees to
meet handicapped youngster Nelson Gary, Jr., who idolizes him, that Gray
finally comes to terms with several life realizations. (From

NEVER QUIT
One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my
spirituality...I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. "God", I said. "Can
you give me one good reason not to quit?" His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of
them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from
the earth. It's brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from
the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year
the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from
the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said.
"In year
three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not
quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo see. I
would not quit." He said.
|
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged
from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months
later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years
growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to
survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been
struggling, you have actually been growing roots?" "I would not quit on
the bamboo. I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to
others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet
they both make the forest beautiful." "Your time will come", God said to
me.
"You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned "Yes." He said, "Give me glory by
rising as high as you can." I left the forest and bring back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on us.
He will never give up on us... TRUST HIM! |
