b'Welcome to Day 1768 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Don\'t Become A Failure \\u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1768 of our Trek, and it\\u2019s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today\\u2019s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today\\u2019s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let\\u2019s jump right in with today\\u2019s nugget:

Today\\u2019s quote is from Unknown, and it is: A man doesn\\u2019t become a failure until he is satisfied with being one.
Don\\u2019t Become A Failure


Failure, in most cases, is a frame of mind and not an actual event. We can fail repeatedly, but until we are satisfied that failure is our lot in life, then we have not truly failed. There is no limit to the number of times you can get back up on your feet, dust yourself off, and begin again with even more wisdom than before. Only when we become comfortable with living below our God-given potential, we start the downward spiral of mediocracy, which eventually leads to failure. We may not be abundantly prosperous in all of our endeavors, but as long as we persevere and do the best we can for today, we are on the path to success.

The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, \\u2018Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.\\u2019

\\u201cThe master was full of praise. \\u2018Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let\\u2019s celebrate together!\\u2019

\\u201cThe servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, \\u2018Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.\\u2019

\\u201cThe master said, \\u2018Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let\\u2019s celebrate together!\\u2019

\\u201cThen the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, \\u2018Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn\\u2019t plant and gathering crops you didn\\u2019t cultivate. I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.\\u2019

\\u201cBut the master replied, \\u2018You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn\\u2019t plant and gathered crops I didn\\u2019t cultivate, why didn\\u2019t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.\\u2019
