GO TO NEIL’S OTHER BLOG ONE A DAY, YOUR SPIRITUAL VITAMINS and read the following brain teasers.  CLICK ON URL BELOW There are over 800 stories and commentaries on this blog. It is added to daily.

 
Thomas Edison when fired from his job on the railroad went on to become one of our greatest inventors/ scientists.
 
Abraham Lincoln, at 46, considered himself a failure.  He had certainly built up a history of failure; failed storekeeper, failed in attempts to be elected to political office, etc.  He went on to become President of these United States.
 
Dr. A. J. Cronin began his work as a doctor, broke his health and retired to write.  He became one of the world’s greatest and most beloved writers. 
 
Whistler, the great artist, wanted to be a soldier, but failed in a chemical examination.  He often laughed and said, “If silicon had been a gas, I would have been a major general.
 
The medical missionary David Livingstone, after 16 years in Africa, was quoted as saying the following during a visit to Glasgow University.  “Shall I tell you what sustained me amidst the toil and hardship of my exiled life?  It was Jesus’ promise, ‘Lo, I am with you always even unto the end.’”
 
As he spoke, he appeared much older than his actual age and his arm hung limply at his side – the result of a lion attack.  And this man, who never thought of giving anything less than his all, gave forth an unworldly calm.
 
His dedication to a cause was greater than any discouragement that could come to call.  He judged life not by minor moments when things would seem to fall apart but by a total picture. 

He saw life as a destiny not as a piecemeal of ups and downs.
