A determined little turtle once climbed a tree. He somehow made it to
the first branch. Then he jumped into the air waving his front legs
and crashed to the ground.After a while he slowly climbed the tree again. And again he jumped.
This time he flapped all four of his limbs, but still plummeted to the
hard ground.The persistent turtle tried again and again with the same results. A Read More

If you are like me, there are some things you may feel you do pretty
well, and others that you would not admit to having done even at
gunpoint! Please don’t expect anything I build with my hands to remain
standing past sundown, or anything I attempt to repair to ever stay
fixed after I leave the room. And if my cars relied solely on me to
keep them going, I would walk most everywhere I go.
...
On the other hand, I do play guitar adequately and I can make a
memorable enchilada dish. I also enjoy working with people and I seem
to have made it a lifelong project to learn how to become a better
listener.

I never thought of myself as one who has any great talent, but like
each of us, I have certain skills and abilities. Let me tell you a
story, however, I once heard speaker Les Brown relate. It’s a story
about a man who had real talent.

I had to watch. There was so much being made of this event,
that I had to see how it all turned out.
Of course, I wanted the best one to win, but I also wanted to
see a great story become even greater.
We watched the Kentucky Derby.
I don’t know a thing about horse racing, but I know plenty about
winning and losing.
As the odds changed and the tension mounted, I paid little
attention to who owned what and how much they made in the past
three years. The odds makers were having a field day with all
the possibilities. I am sure there was a small fortune to be
made if you had the right combination and your horse came in.
From what I remember the winning horse would bring a hefty five
million dollars to the owner.
As the horses approached the starting gate, the announcer read
all the statistics, but none of it made any sense to me. All I
saw were horses and people. As the camera scanned along the
line, I wondered what each jockey was thinking. They all have
won races before, some even won the Derby, but each race is
different, new, and fresh. They weren’t there to lose.
They started the race as winners.
There were to be 18 horses in this race, but a few were “scratched,”
dropped out for whatever reason before the race was announced.
One by one they took their places.
“They’re off!”
It was a muddy race track, “sloppy” they said. As they bolted
from the gate I saw the crowded field tighten up as each rider
fought to get their position. They were literally touching
sides, some six or seven deep. That is until they suddenly
slipped into place.
As they headed into the first turn I focused not on who was in
the lead, but all the horses that were behind.
The leader was clean and almost untouched by the mud and rain.
All the horses behind were soaked and dirty. I saw that as the
first obvious advantage of being the leader in the race.
I know it doesn’t always work this way, but I’ve discovered that
the one in the lead early on often times burns out too soon.
The great story, the excitement in the race happens when a horse
lost in the crowd suddenly bursts forth.
Life is like that race.
I know many who started out in the lead and because of all too
