Let me give you a live example to buttress this. 1895, America was in the grip of a terrible depression. A man living in the Midwest lost his hotel in the midst of this depression and decided to write a book to motivate and inspire others to persist and carry on in spite of the difficulties facing the nation.
His name was Orison Swett Marden. He took a room above a livery stable and for an entire year he worked night and day writing a book, which he entitled 'Pushing To The Front'. Late one evening, he finally finished the last page of his book and being tired and hungry, he went down the street to a small cafe for dinner. While he was away for an hour, the livery stable caught on fire. By the time he got back, his entire manuscript, more than eight hundred pages, had been destroyed by the flames.
Nonetheless, drawing on his inner resources, he sat down and spent another year writing the book over again. When the book was finished, he offered it to various publishers, but no one seemed to be interested in a motivational book with the country in such a depression and unemployment so high. As it is in Nigeria today. Our Hero then moved to Chicago and took another job. One day he mentioned this manuscript to a friend of his who happened to know a publisher. The book "Pushing To The Front" was subsequently published and became the runaway best seller in the nation.
Pushing To The Front was acclaimed by the leading businesspeople and politicians in America as being the book that brought America into the twentieth century. It exerted an enormous impact on the minds of decision makers throughout the country and became the single greatest classic in all of personal development people like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and J.P Morgan all read this book and we're inspired by it.
Dear, don't give up! Nobody is ever defeated until defeat has being accepted as reality. A bend on the road is not the end of the road. The end of one thing is the beginning of something new. And you must not give up in other to walk thru the new door.
Love You!
