Think and Grow Rich - Three feet from Gold

A book called "Think and Grow Rich", by Napoleon Hill and there is a story called "Three feet from Gold".

A gold miner owns a mine that is producing a good amount of gold, but after a while, the mine stops producing gold. The miner digs and digs but only find rock for his trouble. Finally, he gives up and sells his mine to a father and son team who sell almost everything they have to buy the mine. Everyone tells them they're crazy, but they are convinced there is still gold in that mine. With the last bit of money they have left, they hire a geologist to find the vein for them. He does. It turns out, the original miner was digging in the right direction. If he had dug three more feet, he would have hit the mother load of all veins. But instead, the father and son end up rich. 


Moral of the story...never give up because you could be just three feet from gold.

Don't give up on the dream that Lye's inside of you. Your greatest desire (dream) that is deep within you, is a gift that your born with. Never give up on it. Pursue it, go after it. No matter how long it takes. Just never give up.
Arise and rest not till your goal is reached. You may have many hurdles in early life but worry not just bury them.

We keep evolving our gifts & talents & if we are paying attention & not afraid of change, can keep discovering new opportunities!

"Success" is a way of looking at ones life-- a person can be a janitor, carpenter, reporter, work at the ymca, etc and still have a very filling life and be very successful. It maybe the real failure is to see the value of menial work, rewarding it justly, and appreciating all that is around us and maybe that is the problem with the world today. It greed and the greed for fame and notoriety.

Remember that the path toward success is never an easy one. You must NEVER STOP trying and NEVER QUIT dreaming! Everything you set your mind on,you can do, it is very true.
