"Do a little more each day, than you think you possibly can." - Lowell Thomas
Keith Hernandez one of baseball's top players, is a lifetime .300
hitter who has won numerous Golden Glove awards for excellence in
fielding. He's won a batting championship for having the highest
average, the Most Valuable Player award in his league, and even the
World Series. Yet with all his accomplishments, he has missed out on
something crucially important to him - his father's acceptance and
recognition that what he has accomplished is valuable. Listen to what he
had to say in a very candid interview about his relationship with his
father: "One day Keith asked his father, 'Dad, I have a lifetime 300
batting average. What more do you want?' His father replied, 'But
someday you're going to look back and say, "I could have done more."'"
One of the most erroneous assumption today is that, studying a good course is the guarantee for greatness. It's false because if we consider majority of the fulfilled people around us, we'll
discover that some even dropped out of school. I'm not by any means advocating dropping out of school: not at all.
We have unlimited potentials for God's glorification, and our fulfillment. Many people are already feeling dissatisfied, or unfulfilled with their regular jobs - taking another more paying job, or quitting a current one isn't the solution. Obeying that voice to; write that book; take that painting class; or to enroll for that pastry class, is. Whatever, it is just do. It'd be an error to look back someday and say, 'I could've done more."
