** How to Keep Going When You Feel Like Quitting ** I heard a true story years ago about a group of coal miners who were trapped in a cave-in in West Virginia back in the days before they had the sophisticated search and rescue equipment. The trapped miners chose not to sit and wait to be rescued. Instead, they chose to use their own tools to dig toward the surface. They knew that their chances of survival were less than good, but they continued to dig anyway with the hope that they might beat the odds and break through to freedom. Unfortunately, the miners lost their battle. They had dug for days, and they had made commendable progress. But they died before they were able to break through to the fresh air and sunshine. When the search and rescue people finally found the dead miners, they were alarmed to learn that the miners were only a couple of inches from the surface. Many people give up the fight and walk away from the battle when they are just about to triumph. Learn a lesson from these true accounts. Often, it’s not how well you run the race or how fast you sling the pick. Often, it’s simply about sticking around and being the last one to give up.
