Author Elbert Hubbard told the story of an incident during the Spanish-American War. It was imperative that the president get a message to the leader of the insurgents. His name was Garcia and he was known to fighting somewhere in the mountains of Cuba, but no mail or telegraph could reach him. Someone said, \"There's a fellow by the name of Rowan who will find Garcia for you if anybody can.\"
Rowan took the letter without hesitation. As soon as he sealed it in a leather pouch strapped over his heart, he landed in the dark of night off the coast of Cuba and made his way to the mountains, and after much difficulty, found Garcia. He handed him the letter, turned around and headed home.
Rowan didn't ask, \"Exactly where is he?\" or \"I doubt if I can do it.\" There was a job to be done and he did it.
Instead of making a dozen excuses why you can't complete the task, think about Rowan. Just do it!
作家阿爾伯特·哈伯德講述了一個發生在美西戰爭期間的故事。總統需要向起義者的首領傳達一條消息,事情萬分緊急。首領的名字叫卡西,他受任去古巴崇山峻嶺中的某個地方。但他在那里接收不到任何郵件或電報。有人告訴總統說,“有個叫羅恩的家伙,如果能找到他的話,他可以幫你找到加西亞。”
羅恩毫不猶豫地接下了信函。他將信縫在一個皮革口袋中,緊緊系在胸前,立刻趁著夜晚的暮色,越過古巴的海岸線,前往山中,好不容易找到了加西亞。他遞給加西亞信函,轉身向家中走去。
羅恩并沒有問,“加西亞究竟在哪兒?”或者“我對自己能否辦成這件事表示懷疑。”當有任務需要執行時,羅恩成功地完成了它。
不要為你無法完成任務找一大堆理由,想想羅恩,去付諸實踐吧!
