One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting
when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of
this mistake at one time or
another. An uncle of R. U. Darby was caught by the “gold fever” in the
gold-rush days, and went west to DIG AND GROW RICH. He had never heard
that more gold has been mined from the brains of men than has ever been
taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to work with pick and
shovel. The going was hard, but his lust for gold was definite.
After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining
ore. He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. Quietly, he
covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Williamsburg,
Maryland, told his relatives and a few neighbors of the “strike.” They
got together money for the needed machinery, had it shipped. The uncle
and Darby went back to work the mine.You may like this Please, Just Listen
