2 lessons from Jesus in Luke 116-10

8 But Ill tell you this - though he wont do
it as a friend, if you keep knocking long enough
he will get up and give you everything you
want-just because of your persistence.

keep on looking and you will keep on finding
knock and the door will be opened.

Jesus in Luke 18 2-5 The Parable of the
Persistent Widow

4But finally he said to himself, Even though I
dont fear God or care about men, 5. yet because
this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that
she gets justice, so that she wont eventually
wear me out with her coming!

I realized early on that success was tied to not
giving up. Most people in this business gave up
and went on to other things. If you simply didn't
give up, you would outlast the people who came in
on the bus with you. Harrison Ford

Wait it out.  Sometimes the victory goes to the
one left standing.  Anon

Opportunities multiply as they are seized they
die when they are neglected.  Life is a long
line of opportunities. John Wicker

• I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot
  of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all.
  It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility
  for your future. It's seeing what other people
  don't see and pursuing that vision.
• Howard Schultz, Starbucks Coffee

17

• Many of life's failures are people who did not
  realize how close they were to success when they
  gave up.
• Thomas Edison

18

• Victory belongs to the most persevering.
• Napoleon Bonaparte

19

• To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, And
  baffled, get up and begin again. 
• Robert Browning

20

• Never give in.
• Never. Never.
• Never. Never.
• Sir Winston Churchill

21

• Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of
  results. I know several thousand things that
  wont work.
• Thomas Edison

22

• When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that
  your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans,
  and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
• Napoleon Hill

23

• Fall seven times, stand up eight.
• Japanese Proverb

24

• Great works are performed not by strength but by
  perseverance.
•  Samuel Johnson

25

• Some of us have to work twice as hard to get half
  as far. If its you, then dont complain. You
  still have an advantage that many in the world
  would literally die for and that is to come to
  this country to live. Take advantage of it.

• Success consists of getting up just one more time
  than you fail.
• Oliver Goldsmith

• Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. He
  knows that if he doesnt run faster than the
  slowest gazelle, he will starve. And every
  morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. He knows
  that if he doesnt run faster than the fastest
  lion, he will be eaten. Every morning in Africa,
  when you wake up, it doesnt matter whether you
  are a lion or a gazelle, you better wake up
  running.

• Never be afraid to ask for what you want. The
  worst thing that will happen is that they will
  say no. The best thing that will happen is that
  youll get it.

• Do more than is required of you. The distance
  that one is willing to go sometimes measures the
  difference between a leader and a follower.
  Leaders habitually go the extra mile.

32

• Learn to take risk. Risking is loosening your
  hold on the certain, and reaching for something
  that you are not sure of, but believe is better
  than what you have. In every risk, there is an
  unavoidable loss, something that has to be given
  up in order to move ahead. Not risking is the
  surest way of loosing. You are supposed to be
  afraid when you risk. Success sometimes depends
  more on the will to leap than on being concerned
  about what happens if you fail. A life that is
  always comfortable, always without risk, is a
  life without growth.

• Surviving and living your life successfully
  requires courage. The goals and dreams youre
  seeking require courage and risk taking. Learn
  from the turtle, it only makes progress when it
  sticks out its neck.

• Opportunities are never lost someone will take
  the ones you miss.

35

• Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand
  that there is little difference between obstacle
  and opportunity and are able to turn both to
  their advantage.
• Machiavelli

In Japanese, there is no single word or symbol
for the English word problem. For the word
problem, they have a word/symbol that is a
combination of two of our words, caution and
opportunity. Anon

• You never get a second chance to make a first
  impression.

• The one trait that has helped me the most in my
  business life is that of perseverance. When
  something goes wrong, pray, then move around or
  get over whatever it is. Youve got to learn to
  pray and keep going, regardless. There is a
  spiritual lesson from the book of Nehemiah on
  perseverance. You will do well to learn that
  lesson. When others wanted him to stop, he kept
  going.
