Postage Stamps

By Jay Treadway

October 6th, 2009

I’m a sucker for the positive mental attitude stuff. Napoleon Hill, Zig Zigler, W. Clement Stone; all the old guys. They had a lot to teach us then and they still do today. I saw this one today in an email I get from Jeffrey Gitomer each week. I like his stuff as well. Here’s what he had in his weekly email newsletter that came originally from Napoleon Hill  (Think and Grow Rich):

The most interesting thing about a postage stamp is the persistence with which it sticks to its job.

The tiny, insignificant postage stamp is a good example of what it is possible to achieve if you stick with the job until it is finished. Inconspicuously stuck on the corner of the envelope, it provides the impetus to keep moving until the entire packet reaches its ultimate destination. The influence you may have upon your company, your church, your family, or any organization is incalculable if you have the persistence to pursue your goal until you achieve it. It is an absolute certainty that you will encounter obstacles in any worthwhile endeavor. When you do, remember the inconsequential little postage stamp and stick with the job until it is finished.
