There are many things I would
never attempt.
Designing a bridge across a river
Operating on my wife
Driving a speeding train
One might say I am a man of
ordinary talent. I can do a few things
well. Other skills are best left to the
experts.
But …
But I do believe this.
“…
that with ordinary talent
and
extraordinary perseverance,
all
things are attainable.
Sir
T. F. Buxton
Of course you noticed the key
phrase “extraordinary perseverance”. That is the secret sauce.
Chad Hymas comes to mind when I think
of perseverance.
-On April 2, 2001 he was a robust
American farmer who capably provided for his family.
-On April 3, 2001 a one-ton bale
of hay crushed him, paralyzing him from the chest down.
Chad rose up from the dust and stubble
of that hay bale and rode a three-wheeled bicycle 513 miles. He did this with his hands and arms, since
his legs were and still are useless because of the accident.
Chad had what we might call
perseverance. He was an ordinary guy
with an extraordinary amount of perseverance.
You should see and hear him speak.
Be encouraged to take your
ordinary life and find some extraordinary perseverance to conquer your
mountains.
