THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Feeling the Christmas itch? Right now, even as we speak little boys and girls everywhere are excited about Santa and his helpers making toys for them up at the North Pole. Early in the 20th century, a group of explorers went in search of Santa, and on April 6, 1909, the first human being reached the North Pole.
That man was Matthew Hensen, and African-American and Admiral Peary’s personal assistant. He later received a Congressional Medal of Honor for this achievement. Here’s what he has to say: Only man can get a vision and in inspiration that will lift him abovethe level of himself and send him forth against opposition… to do and to dare to accomplish wonderful and great things for the world and for humanity.
Both Santa Claus and Matthew Hansen have done wonderful and great things for the world. Today, ask yourself what great and wonderful things you want to accomplish for humanity. Then, hold that vision and achieve it!
