Resilient Rule: Read the Writing on the Wall

        In my quest to share to you best story with the end in my mind that you can harvest and /or obtain significant moral lesson in it. And so, I began thinking searching and on the best story I have to share , and the two actions I've executed produced result, hence, this story from Dr. Steve W. Price in his book “ How to Bounce When Others Break”.

X---------------------------------------------------------------------/
        Let’s start with the story of Belshazzar, from which the expression, “read the writing on the wall “originated. 

        While participating in a drunken palace feast, King Belshazzar of Babylon used sacred cups and vessels plundered from Solomon’s Temple to propose toast and sing praises to hi pagan gods. Immediately, a supernatural, floating hand wrote several words on the palace wall. 

        The king’s astronomers and magicians couldn't decode the strange script, so the king sent for Daniel, an exiled Jew, who recognized the Hebrew script and interpreted the words to mean that God had weighed the King’s transgressions and decreed his dynasty and his days on earth were coming to an end.  

         That night, Belshazzar was murdered and his kingdom divided. 

Resilient People Read---and Heed---the Warning Signs

         Let’s take a moment to look at some resilient people who bounced, while others broke, because they studied the gathering storm clouds while the masses were still wearing sunglasses.

To Bounce, You Must Act

          A similar story happened to a real-life of Gorge, who escaped from Hungary in the days following the failed 1956 Hungarian Revolution. As an 18-year =-old college freshman in Budapest, Gorge took part in the protest march and spontaneous riots that broke out in the capital city on October 23.

          He passed out flyers demanding freedom from Soviet rule and was active in making bombs to attack the hated secret police. At first the Soviets gave in to student demands, loosening their grip on Hungary and installing a president sympathetic to reforms. 

         But fearful the nascent rebellion would spread to other occupied countries in Eastern Europe, the Soviet leadership cracked down hard on the Hungarian dissidents, sending a thousand armored tanks and 30,000 troops into Budapest.

          Gorge knew his days in Hungary were numbered. At best he’d be sent to a Russian concentration camp; at worst he’d face a firing squad. He read the writing on the wall and made plans to flee the country. Recognizing that the Soviets would concentrate on securing the cities first.

          Gorge and there of his best childhood friends escaped over a rugged mountain range into Austria. Gorge worked and saved money to pay smugglers to guide his parents and younger brother through the heavily mined border to join him in Austria. 
Gorge’s family and three best buddies all eventually relocated to the United States, where they all took advantage of their new found freedom and free enterprise to open and operate successful businesses. 

           All told, 200,000 of the 10 million Hungarian citizens escaped to the West in the months following the October 23 riots. The rebels who didn't act by fleeing were put on trial. Within weeks the Soviets imprisoned 40, 000 Hungarians for treason; the 400 most visible leaders were executed by firing squad, and hundreds more “disappeared” and were never heard from again.

           Today Gorge is comfortably retired in a modern three-story home (designed by one of the childhood friends who escaped with Gorge in ’56) fronting the Intracoastal Waterway in St. Pete Beach, Florida. He‘s still active in business and active in the lives of his three children and several grandchildren.

          What About the Writing on Your Wall?

          We’re all confronted with the writing on the wall, and that writing is always personal and it never goes away until either we act on it or it acts on us.

          Take a moment to read the writing on the wall of your life. You know it’s there. If you've been ignoring it, you’re preparing yourself to break when you could be bouncing.
         
          Maybe the writing is warning you about your child’s loser buddies.

          Maybe your spouse is increasingly distant and quite.
          
          Maybe your blood pressure is inching upward toward 140…150…160…

          Maybe your “secure job” isn't so secure anymore.

          Maybe you avoid answering the phone to avoid calls from creditors.

         The question is, in our end what are we doing about the writing on our wall? Yes, it’s easy to ignore or deny the writing. And yes, it takes a bit of courage to act. But resilient people act in the face of negative news. The sooner you act, the better change you have of avoiding disaster. 

          Hope you enjoyed the story, and just only to impart this as a brotherly reminder that “you can ignore the Writing, but you can’t erase it”.
