War Heros

You have to fight alot of battles to be a war hero.

Think about it.

Seems obvious.


But we want to wake up one day and just be famous - be the guy that changed the world, be the woman on the cover of the NY Times for doing something spectacular for the kingdom. We want to change the world but we don't want to do the time in the war to earn the respect needed to make the changes we want to see.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Ghandi
"You are the light of the world." - Jesus

Remember this when life sucks. When its been 5 weeks without a car. When your boss won't fire the person you can't stand to work with. When you do the job someone else gets paid to do every day but they won't promote you. When you wake up a 3 o'clock in the morning with the kids screaming. When your broke and 3 months behind on your house payment. When your lonely at night wishing your spouse didn't work night shift. They're all little battles on the way to winning the war.

However, when Einstein was young, his parents thought he was mentally retarded. His grades in school were so poor that a teacher asked him to quit, saying, "Einstein, you will never amount to anything!"

Isaac Newton was the greatest English mathematician of his generation. His work on optics and gravitation made him one of the greatest scientists the world has even known. Many thought that Isaac was born a genius, but he wasn't! When he was young, he did very poorly in grade school, so poor that his teachers became clueless in improving his grades.

In 1947, one year into her contract, Marilyn Monroe was dropped by 20th Century-Fox because her producer thought she was unattractive and cannot act. That didn't deter her at all! She kept on going and eventually she was recognized by the public as the 20th century's most famous movie star, sex symbol and pop icon.
