Good News - December 2020

My dad has initiated more successful and transformative enterprises in his lifetime than I can even begin to count. A gentleman in awe of Dad’s Midas touch once asked him, “How is it that everything you do prospers?” My Dad laughed and said, “You see my victories, my failures are hidden from you, but not from me. I have failed more than I have succeeded. It is on the ashes of those failures that all my success has been built.” Failure can teach you as much as – some- times even more than — success.

In fact, it may be necessary to en- counter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” “Pruning – painful as it might be – encourages more rapid healing.” – Rob Hoskins Rob Hoskins is the President of OneHope.
