HE BURNED HIS BOATS

by Richard Quek

A long time ago there was a great General who was faced
with a situation which made it necessary for him to
make a drastic decision to insure his success on the
battlefield. He was about to send his army on shore to
face a powerful enemy, whose men outnumbered his. He
loaded his soldiers into boats, and sailed to face the
enemies on shore. When they reached the shore, he
ordered them to unload the soldiers and cargoes. He
then ordered for all the ships and boats to be burned.
Addressing his men before the battle, he said, “You see
the ships and boats going up in smoke. That means that
we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We
now, have no choice – either we win, or we perish.”
They
WON!


SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

Just like the General, we have to burn all our bridges
if we want to achieve success. There can be no room for
retreat and we must have an attitude of, “Whatever it
takes”, taking into consideration that we can have
anything we desire provided we do not violate Universal
Laws and the rights of our fellow human beings. Do not
dwell on the past. Move forward with confidence and we
will surely see success, unexpected in common hours.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the
strength to persevere and endure in spite of
overwhelming obstacles."
