Three Remaining Feet to Gold Mine

You may know about the period of ‘gold fever’ in America when many people tried to put their life by looking for gold mine. Mr. R. U. Darby, recently known as the biggest insurance agent in America, together with his uncle decided to be a gold hunter. Digging gold and become rich, that’s his uncle expectation, but he didn’t know yet that human brain has the most potential gold mine than ever. Then, finally he got the mine and began his digging. Fortunately, he found the gold ore after several weeks digging and told it to his family and neighbors. They all gave money contribution to bought digger machine and immediately sent it to the place which will give them plentiful gold.

It seems that they had already found what they want. The gold mine gave them great earnings, so they could wipe their debt away and thought that they had found the most plentiful gold mine. The machine dug more and more, but the soil layer containing gold ore suddenly disappear. They’re still with the expectation to get the most plentiful gold mine, so they tried to dig more than before. However, they found nothing, felt hopeless and decided to end this useless effort. At last, the machine was sold to secondhand stuff seller about some hundred dollars and they left the gold mine.

The smart seller called engineer to check out the abandoned gold mine and did some calculations. The engineer told him that the former owner (Mr. Darby and his uncle) didn’t know about the term “fault lines”. The calculation result shown that soil layer containing abundant gold was THREE REMAINING FEET FROM THE LAST DIGGING, it means 3 REMAINING FEET FROM THE POINT WHERE DARBY’S FAMILY END THEIR DIGGING. Of course, the seller finally got millions from the gold mine.
The gold mine experience gave Mr. Darby a worth message about avoiding desperateness and found that his will can be altered into gold. Then he took insurance policy business and applied his experience to succeed in his new business. He might end his three remaining feet digging to gold mine but he never stop offering insurance policy, although many applicant denied it.

I’d like to say to my dear reader, that failure is most likely come into someone which is close to success. So, why do you stop?
