3) The Key to Success

If everything that we planned fails and we become a failure, what will you do? The road of a person with big hope will not fail. The more that person goes forward, the more success there will be. You must go on with this kind of resolution. Then you will certainly succeed. In order to advance forward, you must either live or die. You must choose either one.

You people must definitely succeed. What must you do in order to do that? When the other wins once, you must win twice. When the other sleeps one hour, you must sleep half an hour. When the other eats one bowl of rice, you must eat only half. You must fight with this kind of a strong will. The key to success is not found somewhere else.

It depends on how much time you spare, how hard you work, and how many funds you invest.

It is a battle of time, a battle of spirit and a battle of effort. It is just like a student preparing for the coming entrance exam. Those who failed the exam are the ones who slept more, ate more or did something more comfortable than others. (19-143)

When we look for a key to success, or the foundation or motivation necessary for victory, I'm sure you know now how valuable perseverance is. There is a proverb in the Orient which says, "The one who perseveres is the one who wins." (76-221)

You must know how important it is to endure. How valuable is endurance? Endurance is the motivation of a new start and it also can be the motivation of a new creation.

God is also enduring. God is enduring. God endured when Adam and Eve were about to die and He also endured when Jesus was taken and nailed to the cross. God pretended not to know when He knew. Even when He knew, He pretended He didn't. It was very difficult for God. You also do the same. If a person knows all about you but pretends not to know, how embarrassing will that be? When you see that person, you will want to escape and hide under his feet, but you surrender because you have no place to go. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the more we endure, it will become the motivation to possess more. Do you understand what it means?

The same thing can be said in a family. No matter what your brothers and sisters say, if you endure and endure, your parents or anyone else will bless you, saying, "Watch him or her in the future." Therefore, let's make one rule now. It is good to endure for yourself and it is good to open your mouth for others. If a person is in a difficult position, open your mouth and console him, and when that person is slandered, pretend you do not know, even if you know, and then open your mouth and support him. If you look for the key to victory or one necessary foundation or motivation to become victorious, you will find how valuable perseverance is.

There is a proverb in the Orient which says, "Those who persevere are the ones who win." Do you understand? Do you understand what I mean? (76-220)

When you play tug of war, who wins? Will a person who suddenly tugs with power win, or will a person with perseverance win? (The person with perseverance.) You must not attack suddenly like a tiger and become weak later. You must stand firm pulling. You should not give in. You must stand firm until the end. Does the Bible says, "The one who perseveres to the end goes to Hell?" The person who perseveres to the end loses? It's the same thing. If you go to Heaven, that means you won. If you go to hell you have lost. The person who perseveres to the end wins the fight. (64-57)

In order to become a victor, you need conditions. In other words, you need confidence, you need courage, and thirdly, you need a fighting spirit. (18-12)
