Worth Noting:
- I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses.
- Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go and that the Lord may keep his promise to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.
Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days. What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.…….. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thomas Edison is celebrated for his invention of an electric lamp, great persistence having failed about a thousand times. Had he not been bold enough then he could not have got the strength required to keep trying till he succeeded. To him every trial was worth doing as he learnt something new. He did not care much of his detractors who could have advised him to give up rather he remained focused on his goal eventually it paid off and an electric lamp was invented and credited to him.
In many life decisions there are choices that we are required to make whether to continue or to give up, to make one choice or the other where multiple chances are presented to us and the outcomes are unpredictable? All we need to do is to take risk otherwise we could keep postponing our decision making which usually happens to be a disadvantage to us.
In choosing a marriage partner no one is perfect you have to choose to agree to marry someone then deal with her short comings or leave her instead of spending decades dating or in search of a perfect partner who you will never find. Be bold to accept that you too have own weaknesses that you need to deal with, identify strengths and shortcomings of your partner then come up with strategies on how to manage those short comings.
If sleepy do not force yourself to remain awake arguing that not all those who sleep manages to wake up rather be bold and hopeful that you will sleep well and wake up a healthy person.
While preparing for an exam study wide, practice enough then upon sitting for it, be open minded that the questions will cover any area of the subject and you will be able to apply the knowledge you have to correctly respond to them otherwise if you panic you will not be able to tackle even whatever you already know.
In the bible book of first king’s chapter 2 King David in his instructions to his son Solomon about leading the Israelites he required him to be bold enough. Below is an excerpt.
I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses.
Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go and that the Lord may keep his promise to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.
A new born is unable to sit, walk or talk but over time he imitates those around him and perfects in doing exactly like them. His bold steps to do like what he sees them doing despite imperfections are the ones that yield these good fruits. Should the kid fear to fall while trying to walk probably he could remain unable to walk or talk.
The lion is neither the fastest nor the strongest animal in the jungle but its boldness helps it to be the king of the jungle.
A teacher does not fear how illiterate a new learner is but through training him, he makes him to understand what seemed difficult there before.
Whatever you think you are capable of doing go ahead and execute it. Nothing is hard once you get the basics right.
