Win or Perish



A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision which ensured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, uploaded soliders and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his troops before the first battle, he said, ” you see the boats going up in the smoke. That measns that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! we now have no choice. We win-or we perish!”

They won.

” Those who would win in any undertaking must be willing to burn their ships and cut all sources of retreat. only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to success.
