Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were to reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewsed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals.
Finally, a short, thin man, weel past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farm hand?" ther farmer asked him. "YES and I can sleep through a stormy night." answered the new man.

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his or her way. Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."

One ship driven east and one driven west
by the very same wind that blows;
Tis the set of the sails and not the gales
That tells which way she goes.
Like the waves of the sea are the gales that blow,
as we journey together through life;
Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal;
and not the storm and strife.
