MOVE UP TO ACHIEVERS' LEVEL
Some years ago, I was privileged to exchange letters with Peter J.
Daniel of Australia. In autographing one of his books to me, he wrote “Reach To The Sky.” Who was Peter J. Daniels? Perhaps his story will inspire you to move
up to achievers’ level. Get excited today that you too can make it.
P.J. Daniels was described as an illiterate at age 26. In other words,
this man did not know how to read or write at an age when many had graduated
from the University. Some at that age have had more than the first degree. At
this age he had worked as a bricklayer and as a factory hand. He was a third
generation of welfare recipient. In other words, he was in a line of inheritors
of joblessness and poverty. He was living on stipends offered to him by the
state. What can an uneducated man do in the midst of the educated? Truly, he is
an odd man. Let us interlude with a story of one man. Peter J. Daniel (PJD) was
the product of a broken home, a man down and out intellectually and financially.
Amazingly, within five years of self-set goal, he became self-educated, he
became capable in reading, writing and speaking. He was a speaker in great
demand with his highly enriched educated mind. He proceeded to be a very
successful businessman and also an accomplished author of chart bursting books.
All this happened by his determination and faith in God. Peter J. Daniel
excelled. He moved up to achievers’ level. The story of the sub-continent of Australia
cannot be complete in that Pacific Rim without the mention of Peter J. Daniel. The
man literally moved up to achievers’ level. The beauty and joy of it is that
you too can move up to the achievers' level. Move up to the achiever’s level
and break records.
Our world is a world of competition. Move up to the achievers' level
by cultivating the habit of excelling in school. This will trail you in life to
bring you to honours, accurate and unusual breakthrough. Move up to achievers’
level by cultivating the habit to excel in academics. Excelling in academics is
also the foundation of excelling in life. If Peter J. Daniel can move up to achievers'
level, then you too can. What is more? With God all things are possible.
Partner with God, with God you cannot fail, he has a way for you to excel.
Let us close the day's devotion with this short story. A young
graduate of Architecture was looking for employment at a time when it was difficult
to get a job in the profession. He made a phone call
to an Architectural Firm and he was invited for a chat. After a brief interview
he was offered a job at a competitive salary.
To create space for him in the firm, two other
Architects were made to leave the firm. What
happened? This young Architect excelled while
in school. Excelling brings favour in untold
dimensions. Move up to achievers' level.
You can put our books in the hands of one or more youth around you.
