不要错失良机

耶稣上了船,门徒也跟着祂上了船。(马太福音8:23)

在某些“命运时刻”,你必须做出改变生命的选择。有一天,耶稣邀请两个人加入祂的团队,但他们都用理由推迟了。其中一个要参加葬礼,另一个要回家请示决定。这是我们最后听到有关他们的事情。马太是这样记录的:“耶稣上了船,门徒也跟着祂上了船。”那两个人却错过了那艘船。如果你总是拖延,就永远不会成功。如果长久地迟疑不定,你也会错失良机。这方面最好的例证之一是关于电话专利的故事。在19世纪70年代,有两人都致力于改进当时的科技——电报系统,他们都有通过电缆传送声音的主意,而且都探究了以电子传输的方式。耐人寻味的是,这两个人——亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔(Alexander Graham Bell)和以利沙·格雷(Elisha Gray)都在同一天——1876年2月14日在专利办公室登记他们的主意。贝尔是当天第五个来申请专利的人,而格雷却因为忙于其他事情,所以就让他的律师来办理。遗憾的是,他的律师比贝尔晚到一个小时,他来申请一个警告,是一种申请专利的意向声明。那几分钟使格雷错失了大财。尽管格雷申诉说是他先想到这个主意的,但贝尔的申请却获得法院的支持。因此,仅仅看到上帝给你机会还不够,你必须要抓住机会。换句话说,不要错失良机!
