We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. (Hebrews 6:12)
I saw a poem the other day that confirms the principle that the man who is born the luckiest is the man who doesn’t believe in luck…but in work!
He worked by day And toiled by night,
He gave up play And some delight.
Dry books he read New things to learn
And forged ahead.
Success to earn He plodded on
With faith and pluck, And when he won
Men called it luck.
Luck is always waiting for something to turn up. On the other hand, work, using keen eyes and a strong will, always turns something up! Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring good news of an unexpected inheritance. Work springs out of bed early in the morning and lays the foundation for success with competence.
Luck whines. Work whistles
