Cisco telepresence VOIP phone - “A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.”A little boy wanted a taste of molasses from the large barrel by the door of an old-fashioned country store. He slid a box beside the barrel, stepped up on it and leaned over the rim as far as possible, stretching out his finger toward the sweet goo below. He stretched and strained and toppled headfirst into the barrel.
Dripping with molasses, he stood up, lifted his eyes heavenward and was heard to utter, "Lord, help me to make the most of this fantastic opportunity!"
A quality that some people possess is the ability to take whatever life gives them and turn it into an opportunity. David Boren must be such a man. The Oklahoma politician learned from professional pollsters that he would most likely lose his gubernatorial bid, and lose it big. The professional polling agency he hired reported his strength to be about two percent of the population.
His first reaction was to quit. But he finally decided to turn his bad news into an opportunity. He told his listeners, "I had a professional poll taken and it shows I've got great potential for increasing my support!"
That sounded a whole lot better than it was! But he eventually won the election and served as governor of the state of Oklahoma.
Will you accept the creative challenge to take what life gives you and turn it into an opportunity? If so, watch out! Something exciting just might happen!
