%26gt; DECISION
%26gt;
%26gt; There can be no lasting success in life without decision of
%26gt; character. Even brains are secondary in importance to will.
%26gt;
%26gt; The intellect is but half of the person; the will is the
%26gt; driving wheel, the spring of motivating power. A vacillating
%26gt; person, no matter what their abilities, is invariably pushed
%26gt; aside in the race of life by one of determined will. It is
%26gt; those who resolve to succeed, and at every fresh rebuff begin
%26gt; resolutely again, that reach their goals.
%26gt;
%26gt; The shores of fortune are covered with the stranded
%26gt; wrecks of people of brilliant abilities who have lacked courage,
%26gt; faith, and decision, and have therefore perished, while less
%26gt; capable but more resolute adventurers have succeeded in
%26gt; making port.
%26gt;
%26gt; Hundreds of people go to their graves in obscurity only because
%26gt; they lacked the pluck to make the first effort, and who, could
%26gt; they only have resolved to begin, would have astonished the
%26gt; world with their achievements and successes.
%26gt;
%26gt; There are occasions when action must be taken at once.
%26gt; There is no time for long and careful calculation of the chances.
%26gt; The occasion calls for immediate action. The call must be met
%26gt; or time goes swiftly by and our utmost exertions cannot bring
%26gt; it back.
%26gt;
%26gt; At such times is seen the triumph of those who have carefully
%26gt; trained all their faculties to a habit of prompt decision.
%26gt; They seize the occasion and make the thought turn into instant
%26gt; action; they at once plan and perform, resolve and execute.
%26gt;
%26gt; To do anything in this world that is worth doing one must not
%26gt; stand shivering on the bank, thinking of the cold and the
%26gt; danger, but plunge in and scramble through as best one can.
%26gt;
%26gt; The world was not made for slow, squeamish, fastidious people,
%26gt; but for those who act promptly and with power. Everyone must
%26gt; meet obstacles and perplexities, and must either conquer them
%26gt; or be conquered by them. http://www.hkr-publishing.com
