104. Determined Refusal of Good Luck
A heroic missionary who was officially deserted by his Mission ventured successfully and created a first-rate institution in the very name of that Mission. He craved for public support. It was not forthcoming. In 25 years, he collected a total donation of Rs.2350/-. The missionary was self-sacrificing, dynamic, an achiever. An employee of his, admiring the greatness of the boss, pointed out to him the extraordinary resources at his own disposal.
The boss listened to the revolutionary idea, worked on paper and pencil and found he could, with his own potential, earn Rs. 85,000/- a year. The employee felt a triumph, but it was transient. The boss was kind enough to tell him, "It is a great idea, but you are an employee of mine. How can I learn from you?" The employee was turned down.
This is an extreme example, but don't we see this prejudice all around us, refusing Good Luck in one fashion or another? Are we free from it?
