We have a powerful potential in our
youth, and we must have the courage to
change old ideas and practices so that
we may direct their power toward good
ends.

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”

Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

A popular speaker started off a seminar by
holding up a N1000 note. A crowd of 200 had
gathered to hear him speak. He asked, “Who
would like this N1000 note?”
200 hands went up.
He said, “I am going to give this N1000 to one of
you but first, let me do this.” He crumpled the
bill up.
He then asked, “Who still wants it?”
All 200 hands were still raised.
“Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” Then he
dropped the bill on the ground and stomped on
it with his shoes.
He picked it up, and showed it to the crowd.
The bill was all crumpled and dirty.
“Now who still wants it?”
All the hands still went up.
“My friends, I have just showed you a very
important lesson. No matter what I did to the
money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth N1000. Many
times in our lives, life crumple us and grinds us
into the dirt. We make bad decisions or deal
with poor circumstances. We feel worthless. But
no matter what has happened or what will
happen, you will never lose your value. You are
special – Don’t ever forget it!

Once, there was an older man, who was broke,
living in a tiny house and owned a beat up car.
He was living off of $99 social security checks.
At 65 years of age, he decide things had to
change. So he thought about what he had to
offer. His friends raved about his chicken
recipe. He decided that this was his best shot
at making a change.
He left Kentucky and traveled to different states
to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant
owners that he had a mouthwatering chicken
recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free,
just asking for a small percentage on the items
sold. Sounds like a good deal, right?
Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants.
He heard NO over 1000 times. Even after all of
those rejections, he didn’t give up. He believed
his chicken recipe was something special. He
got rejected 1009 times before he heard his
first yes.
With that one success Colonel Hartland Sanders
changed the way Americans eat chicken.
Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as
KFC, was born.
Remember, never give up and always believe in
yourself in spite of rejection.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who
owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let
me use his house to put on fund-raising
events to raise money for youth at risk
programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by
saying:
“I want to tell you why I let Jack use my
horse. It all goes back to a story about a
young man who was the son of an itinerant
horse trainer who would go from stable to
stable, race track to race track, farm to farm
and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a
result, the boy’s high school career was
continually interrupted. When he was a senior,
he was asked to write a paper about what he
wanted to be and do when he grew up.”
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper
describing his goal of someday owning a
horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in
great detail and he even drew a diagram of a
200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the
buildings, the stables and the track. Then he
drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-
foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream
ranch.”
“He put a great deal of his heart into the
project and the next day he handed it in to his
teacher. Two days later he received his paper
back. On the front page was a large red F
with a note that read, `See me after class.'”
“The boy with the dream went to see the
teacher after class and asked, `Why did I
receive an F?'”
“The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic
dream for a young boy like you. You have no
money. You come from an itinerant family.
You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch
requires a lot of money. You have to buy the
land. You have to pay for the original breeding
stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud
fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’
Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite
this paper with a more realistic goal, I will
reconsider your grade.'”
“The boy went home and thought about it long
and hard. He asked his father what he should
do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to
make up your own mind on this. However, I
think it is a very important decision for you.’
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy
turned in the same paper, making no changes
at all.
He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep
my dream.'”
Monty then turned to the assembled group
and said, “I tell you this story because you are
sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the
middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have
that school paper framed over the fireplace.”
He added, “The best part of the story is that
two summers ago that same schoolteacher
brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for
a week. When the teacher was leaving, the
teacher said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this
now. When I was your teacher, I was
something of a dream stealer. During those
years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately
you had enough gumption not to give up on
yours.'”
“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow
your heart, no matter what.”

Shake off Your Problems
A man’s favorite donkey falls into a deep
precipice. He can’t pull it out no matter how
hard he tries. He therefore decides to bury it
alive.
Soil is poured onto the donkey from above. The
donkey feels the load, shakes it off, and steps
on it. More soil is poured.
It shakes it off and steps up. The more the load
was poured, the higher it rose. By noon, the
donkey was grazing in green pastures.
After much shaking off (of problems) And
stepping up (learning from them), One will graze
in GREEN PASTURES.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my
career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times
I've been trusted to take the game winning
shot and missed. I've failed over and over and
over again in my life. And that is why I
succeed. –Michael Jordan
