On
this day in 1860, the playwright and novelist James M. Barrie was born in
Kirriemuir, Scotland. The son of a weaver, Barrie attended the
University of
Edinburgh
and then entered the field of journalism. Eventually he began writing novels and
plays. Sir James is best known for his play about a boy who would not grow up:
Peter Pan (1904). Sir James once observed, “Dreams
do come true, if we only wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you
will sacrifice everything else for it. ‘What will you have?’ says God? ‘Pay for
it and take it.’” And
that advice, like Peter Pan, never grows old.
The Best Way to Make Your
Dream Come True is to Keep Working on It Until It Does
“There is no resting place for an enterprise in a
competitive economy.”
Alfred P. Sloan
“’Now’ is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of
putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream. You don't need
endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now.”
Barbara Sher
“Dreams never hurt anybody who kept working right behind the dream to make as
much of it come true as possible.”
F. W. Woolworth
“I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who
knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to
me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and
constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence.”
Walt Disney
“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power,
and magic in it.”
Goethe
Today’s Bible Verse
Work hard so God can approve you. Be a good worker, one who does not need to
be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
2 Timothy
2:15 NLT
