Something to Ponder
Each day this week I have shared a brief motivational thought with you. Allow these words to resonate within you and discover how they might apply to your life. Thursday’s thoughts are some facts collected by Glenn Van Ekeren. I hope you enjoy them:
“If you think time has been your biggest obstacle on the
road to achievement, think again. Time allows us the
opportunity to dedicate ourselves to larger, worthwhile
efforts: Here are some examples:
• Poet William Cullen Bryant rewrote one of his
essays 99 times in an effort to perfect it.
• It took historian Edward Gibbon 26 years to
write The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
• Noah Webster spent 36 years producing the first
edition of the dictionary that bears his name.”
Be attentive to today and do what you are capable of doing—do your work well!
