Once a little boy was leading his sister up a mountain path he had found and she complained, “Why this isn’t a path at all. It’s all rocky and bumpy.”
“Sure,” he answered, “but the bumps are what you climb on.”
Some people use the bumps in life to climb on while others just trip over them.
Some come out of suffering stronger.
Some come out weaker.
Some learn from pain and mistakes. Others wouldn’t learn if they had an eternity.
Thomas Edison, fired from his job on the railroad went on to become one of our greatest scientists.
Abraham Lincoln, at 46 considered himself a failure. He certainly built up a history of failure, failed storekeeper, failed in attempts to be elected to policitclal office, etc. He went on to become President of these United States.
Dr. A. J. Cronin began his work as a doctor, broke his health and retired to write. He became one of the world’s greatest and most beloved writers.
Whistler the artist wanted to be a soldier, but failed in a chemical examination. He often laughed and said, “If silicon had been a gas, I would have been a major general.”
