The gist of the day........................
SUCCESS IS NOT HAVING IT ALL

So the man rose early and set out. He kept pushing himself to go further and further. Suddenly he realized if was mid-afternoon and he would have to travel very fast if he were return in time to claim land. As the sun got lower in the sky, he began run. Coming within sight of his starting point, he exerted his last ounce of energy, plunged over the finish line, collapsed and died.
The title of this story is "How much does man need?"
Tolstoy concluded the story by saying " Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed".
You cannot get it all or keep it all. Success is not having it all!
To reach the port of Success we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but we must sail, not drift/lie at the anchor. -Olivier Wendell Holmes.
I think the story above has clarified/convinced you that success is not having it all. If that is true with you, I expect you ask this question in your heart; What is Success?
Success is knowing; You cannot have it all ,you only have it for all. -Oluwatobi Oshunbiyi.
Yes, You cannot have it all. But the little in your hands is for all.
The man in Leo Tolstoy's story could not get it all, but he had a thousand rubles for all. The thousand rubles was what would have been counted to him success if used for all, his failure in doing so made him learn it the hard way.
How??
He had all the land = 1000 rubles,
He didn't have all the land, but he bought it for all because all he got was six feet of the whole land.

Do not forget; Success is not having it all but having it for all.
How do you use the little in your hands?
Do you affect the lives around you?
