David and Goliath
Published by 5ySs under on 3:17 PM Maybe some of us already knew about the story of David and Goliath. There was a giant who was bullying and harassing the children in the village. One day, a 17-year-old shepherd boy came to visit his brothers and asked, "Why don't you stand up and fight the giant?" The brothers were terrified and they replied, "Don't you see he is too big to hit?" But David said, "No, he is not too big to hit, he is just too big to miss."
The rest is history, in the end, David did killed the giant with a sling. Same giant, but with different perception.
Moral of the story:
Our attitude determines how we look at a setback. To a positive thinker, it can be a stepping stone to success. To a negative thinker, it can be a stumbling block.
When our attitude is right, we realize that we are all walking on acres and acres of diamond. Opportunity is always under our feet. We don't have to go anywhere. All we need to do is recognize it.
When people don't know how to recognize opportunity, they complain of noise when it knocks. the same opportunity never knocks twice. The next one may be better or worse, but it is never going to be the same one.
