The secret of successful people

Some time ago we heard a strange story. The pilot of a small transport plane said that he had been caught in a one hundred and fifty -mile gale, which held his plane perfectly still. The motors were roaring , he claimed, but the plane was not moving an inch. "It was fate",he concluded,"to be going one hundred and fifty miles an hour and yet not be going anywhere at all!". Sometimes we seem to be doing something very much like this. No matter how hard we push forward ,we seem to be getting nowhere at all. Then is the time for us to remember that he who does not try to go ahead is bound to find that he is going back.If the pilot of the plane had shut off his motors, he would probably never have lived to tell the story. It was only because he made every effort to go forward that he was even able to stand still!
