V.-AIJTLD: FINISHERS
(The follov.ing is an interesting
artical sent to us by a friend
and is copied from ’’Rays of Sun
shine.” )
The start of a new year is like
a marathon; there arc multitudes
of entrants, but at the finish
tiers arc but a few. The trek
for nev: lands begins with, hundreds
and ends with a handful-- the
pioneers. For every Lewis and
Clark, Daniel Boone, Edison, or
rarooni, the page-s of progress
are strewn with thousands of un
known, the nameless others who
merely started.
Speaking recently to nr. animated
group of young men, a store ex
ecutive impressed on them this
vital need-- the need to finish,
to complete, to stop only at the
e nd.
"Its easy to start," he admonished
"Starters are usually crowds.
pulses to achieve. But Wait till
these' early incentives have faded
the labor heavier, the pathway
ahead lon/lier! Th.n is where
the m.n who can keep on stands
cut like a big tree on a little
hill."
All endeavor calls for this abil
ity to trmnp the- last mile , shape
the l..st plan, endure the last
hour’s toil, make tie. last sacri
fice- that alone- ec-rns a lasting
reward. The fight-to- the-finish
spirit is the one human charact
eristic that haS brought us fin
ally out of b .rb^rism into our
present-dny civilization. If
you will face the future ^s
finishers , th .t future holds
nothing you cannot attempt --
and accomplish !
Unless we nr ke ourselves useful,
we c..n’t expect the world to pay
much attention to us.
