There Is A Legend Of An Artist Who Long Sought For A Piece Of Sandalwood, Out Of Which To Carve A Madonna. He Was About To Give Up In Despair, Leaving The Vision Of His Life Unrealized, When In A Dream He Was Bidden To Carve His Madonna From A Block Of Oak Wood Which Was Destined For The Fire. He Obeyed And Produced A Masterpiece From A Log Of Common Firewood. Many Of Us Lose Great Opportunities In Life By Waiting To Find Sandalwood For Our Carvings, When They Really Lie Hidden In The Common Logs That We Burn.

The Successful Men Of Today Are Men Of One Overmastering Idea, One Unwavering Aim, Men Of Single And Intense Purpose.
