Give as 'twas given to you in your need;
Love as the Master loved you;
Be to the helpless a helper indeed;
Unto your mission be true. **

One summer day in 1979, four engineers made **a startling discovery...They came across an internal memo that detailed their company's **top selling products of the year... Though none of them made more than $20,000 a year, they discovered the products they created were responsible for about 60% of the company's total revenue -- over 60 million dollars! So they went upstairs to the CEO's office seeking a fair share of the profits or at the very least, a raise.But the CEO was not impressed. He called them a bunch of "prima donnas." And said they were no more important to his company than the people on the assembly line who put the product in the box. He refused to give them a penny more. It was then that these four men -- who would become known to industry insiders as the "Gang of Four" -- did something most of us only dream of doing...They quit their jobs and went into business for themselves -- as a direct competitor to their previous employer!

Some investors know **this company's name well --
because it's made them very wealthy!

abandon ?

Success is the ability, first, to recognize opportunity; second, to form plans and strategies that leverage opportunity; and, third, to develop the necessary skills needed to execute those strategies. - Gary Ryan Blair

"If people come to me and are not ready to abandon their fathers, mothers, wives, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as their own lives, they cannot be my disciples. 27So those who do not carry their crosses and follow me cannot be my disciples. 28"Suppose you want to build a tower. You would first sit down and figure out what it costs. Then you would see if you have enough money to finish it. 29Otherwise, if you lay a foundation and can't finish the building, everyone who watches will make fun of you. 30They'll say, 'This person started to build but couldn't finish the job.' 31"Or suppose a king is going to war against another king. He would first sit down and think things through. Can he and his 10,000 soldiers fight against a king with 20,000 soldiers? 32If he can't, he'll send ambassadors to ask for terms of peace while the other king is still far away. 33In the same way, none of you can be my disciples unless you give up everything.
34"Salt is good. But if salt loses its taste, how will you restore its flavor? 35It's not any good for the ground or for the manure pile. People throw it away. "Let the person who has ears listen!"

as a child

Children, when very young, do not desire authority,

do not regard outward distinctions,

are free from malice, are teachable,

and willingly dependent on their parents

- Matthew Henry

 

JESUS SAID : Unless you change and become like little children,

you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

"A child can teach an adult three things:
to be happy for no reason,
to always be busy with something,
and to know how to demand with
all his might that which he desires."
QUOTE: Paulo Coelho

 

***********************************

 

Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He attended a Jesuit school. As a teenager, Coelho wanted to become a writer. Upon telling his mother this, she responded with "My dear, your father is an Engineer. He's a logical, reasonable man with a very clear vision of the world. Do you actually know what it means to be a writer?"

After researching, Coelho concluded that a writer "always wears glasses and never combs his hair" and has a "duty and an obligation never to be understood by his own generation," amongst other things.

At 17, Coelho's introversion and opposition to following a traditional path led to his parents committing him to a mental institution from which he escaped three times before being released at the age of 20. Coelho later remarked that "It wasn't that they wanted to hurt me, but they didn't know what to do... They did not do that to destroy me, they did that to save me." (QUOTE: WIKI)
