WHEN THE WORLD SAYS NO

When Henry Ward Beecher was a young boy in school, he learned a lesson in self-confidence, which he never forgot. He was called upon to recite in front of the class. He had hardly begun when the teacher interrupted with an emphatic, No! He started over and again the teacher thundered, No! Humiliated, Henry sat down.

WHEN THE WORLD SAYS NO

The next boy rose to recite and had just begun when the teacher shouted, No! This student, however, kept on with the recitation until he completed it. As he sat down, the teacher responded, Very good!

WHEN THE WORLD SAYS NO

Henry was irritated. I recited just he did, he complained to the teacher. But the instructor replied, it is not enough to know your lesson, you must be sure. When you allowed me to stop you, it meant that you were uncertain. If all the world says, No! it is your business to say, Yes! And prove it.

WHEN THE WORLD SAYS NO

The world says, No! in a thousand ways: No! You cant do that. No! You are wrong. No! You are too old. No! You are too weak. No! it will never work.

WHEN THE WORLD SAYS NO

No! You dont have the education. No! You dont have the background. No! You dont have the money. No! it cant be done.

WHEN THE WORLD SAYS NO

And each No! you hear has the potential to erode your confidence bit by bit until you quit altogether.

Though the world says, No! to you today, determine to say, Yes! and prove it.
