Where There Is A Will There Is A Way
Where here is a will there is is way that is if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it may be even apparently impossible, you will sooner or later find a way of doing it. The emphasis is on the will to do it; where there's a way will be found.
It is lack of will that counts for failure in ninety nine cases out of hundred. Lack of will is in two degrees. First though we say we want to do a certain thing, and persuade ourselves we really do in reality we don't at any rate of doing it means any effort or sacrifice. So to comfort ourselves for making no attempts, we set t work to find excuse and make mountain out of mole hills. There is a loin in the way we cry. We exaggerate every difficulty, and so fill our minds with the obstacle are impossible.
Or it may be that we really do want to do something, but our will to do it is weak it is like a thin feeble steram of water which is turned aside or blocked by every by small obstacle in its path. The determination, that will never take no for an answer and that preserves in spite of failure, still undaunted. It is a will a rushing torrent that sweeps rocks and blanks and trees out of its way, and forces itself through over every obstruction. A fierce desire a strong determination that will make light of difficulties, this is the sort of will that finds the want to achievement. This is the spirit that cries:
Then welcome each rebuff.
That turns earth's smoothness rough,
Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go!
Be our joys three parts pain!
Strive and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe.
Many a men who became famous as scholars artists, statesmen, inventors, business, ha to struggle against apparently insuperable obstacles to win success. It was their undaunted will to succeed that in the end found the way to success. Napoleon said the word impossible was not found in his dictionary.
Take the story of pallisy, the French potter. He made up his mind to discover a pure white glaze for china. He was a poor man, and had but little education, but for twenty years he worked at his task, trying hundreds of experiments and failing in all. His wife and neighbors called him a lunatic, for he ruined himself by his efforts. But in the end he succeeded, became a famous man. He had the will and found the way. So let your motto be nil desperado; never despair!
