You Are 3
Feet Away From SUCCESS, Don’t Quit Now!
Back in the
1800′s, in the middle of the gold rush, a man named R.U. Darby traveled west
with his uncle to dig and grow wealthy...They stopped in Colorado, and Darby’s
uncle staked a mining claim. Both men worked tirelessly – from sun up until sun
down – using nothing but picks and shovels...The work was back-breaking,
however both were driven by a burning desire to strike it rich!...Finally after
much toil and struggle, Darby and his uncle discovered what they had risked
everything and traveled thousands of miles for… GOLD!
Needing
heavier machinery to bring the shiny ore to the surface, they quietly covered
up their find and went back home to Williamsburg, Maryland to tell their family
and a few friends what happened. ..As you can imagine, everyone was thrilled to
hear the news!.. They all pitched in to buy the necessary equipment and had it
shipped back to Colorado. As a result, the work went a lot faster, and their
first load of ore was mined and sent to the smelter – a factory where the metal
was melted. ..The money made from this confirmed they had stumbled upon one of
the richest gold mines in the state. Darby and his uncle were overjoyed! Just a couple more loads like this and they’d
be completely out of debt – scooping up nothing but pure profit..
Then
something horrible happened... The gold
just vanished. GONE. Nowhere to be found! .. Both men frantically continued
drilling, trying but discover the vein that had supplied them with so much elation
and hope... However, this time their work didn’t pay off – the vein had simply
dried up. Discouraged and bitterly disappointed, they decided to give up and
quit. Before catching the train back home, his uncle sold all the expensive
mining equipment to a “junk man” for only a couple hundred dollars...
This junk
man was smart. He quickly hired an expert – a mining engineer, to find out for
sure if the vein had gone dry... After some inspection and further
calculations, the engineer said the project had failed because the two men weren’t
familiar with the mine’s fault lines. He predicted the vein of gold would be
found three feet from where R.U. Darby and his uncle stopped drilling!.. And
sure enough, that’s exactly where it was discovered once again...
ARE YOU JUST
THREE FEET AWAY FROM THE GOLD?.
