=             &= nbsp;       Never Give Up

"Ever feel like giving up? Try remembering the = American airman in a Vietnam prison cell who was on the verge of suicide, when = he noticed an ant carrying a massive crumb of bread climbing the wall = opposite him, intent upon getting out a window. Time and again the ant would = fall back to the floor, recover the crumb and set out once more on his = impossible mission. Momentarily distracted, the distraught prisoner began = counting the tiny insect's attempts. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty… and on and = on. Suddenly, he found himself silently cheering on this tiny creature. On the 69th attempt, the persevering ant, with his prize in tow, cleared the = window ledge and escaped.

Inspired by the fortitude of this tiniest of creatures, the prisoner dispelled his thoughts of suicide and persevered. The moral of the = story is simple… Never give up. Never, ever give up."

Here's What They Are Saying

"In times like these, it is helpful to remember that there have always been = times like these." Paul Harvey. Sent in by Ron Bearman, Minnetonka, = Minnesota.

"Each morning on the Serengeti, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that = it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Each morning a lion = wakes up also. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will slowly = starve to death. In the end it really doesn't matter whether you are a lion = or a gazelle, but when the morning comes you'd better be running." = Laura Jones and Jane Carlton, New Braunfels, Texas.

"I want to thank Sandie and Stephen Turner, Nellie Jones and = Jeanie Sharpless for all their help, encouragement and guidance, and for = stressing the importance of Red Carpet Day. I had a ball meeting my Freedom Team brothers and sisters and meeting Coach and Chriss Tomer, and the rest = of my new YTB family. Christ once said, "If you love me, do my = words." Well Coach, I'm going to ride the wings of your words right down the = YTB Leadership upline to success! Thank you all for the opportunity!" = Michael Christian, Hartford, Connecticut.

"I have seen the vision and potential with YTB since day one when = a friend, not in the business, told me about some one she knew who was = with YTB. I was about to go to work for a traditional travel agency, but immediately saw the YTB opportunity as a viable option! The future is = bright and there is room at the top for all of us! God Bless America, the = World, YTB, and Nick and Janice Pagano!"
