Rejected by a college, the banker's son said to his father, “if you really cared for me, you'd have pulled some wires to get me into college.”

"I know," said the father, "the TV, the telephone and the ignition wires pulled out would have done for a start."

But the man with a push will pass the man with a pull.

For every achievement, there's a cost. For every goal there's a foe. For every victory, there's a sacrifice. For every triumph, there's a struggle.

The Bible says, “Work hard so God can say to you, 'Well done.' Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work.”
