■ A boat waiting for the tide ^
Andrew Carnegie of Dunfermline, Scotland
Born into a poor family, he joined his family at the age of 14.
He has immigrated to America.
He had only received 4 years of schooling,
As a young man, he went door-to-door selling
was doing
One day an old man came to visit the house.
What completely overwhelms him as soon as he enters the house
It was a picture hanging in the middle of the wall.
It is not a painting by a particularly famous artist.
It wasn't even an old antique painting.
However, it impresses with its splendor and beauty.
It wasn't even a picture.
On a lonely beach whose bottom was exposed by the ebb tide
A shabby ferryboat lying about to collapse.
The picture drawn somehow even makes me feel depressed
It was a painting that made me feel.
But below that picture
it was written
'It always comes when the tide is high.
On that very day, I will go out to sea.
(The high tide will come.
On that day, I will go out to the sea.)'
Overwhelmed by paintings and writings, he
When he got home, he couldn't sleep.
And one day when he was 28 he went to visit the old man again
When he died, he left the picture to himself.
I asked for it.
At his earnest request, the old man gave the painting.
And keep that picture close all your life
'It always comes when the tide is high.'
He is said to have made it his own life credo.
'The one who endures without giving up is the one who wins.',
'If you just hold on, you're doing well.'
it is often said
It's a difficult and difficult time for everyone.
However, when there is an ebb tide, there will always be a high tide.
If there is a downhill road, there is an uphill road.
When there is night, there is day.
Even if my current situation is as desolate as the ebb tide
Do not be discouraged, waiting for the high tide to come
Only those who prepare to row
You can succeed.
# Quote of the day
Everyone meets a good opportunity.
However, it is just difficult to match the timing to capture it.
