It is an article was written by Elbert Hubbard for a small magazine to fill an empty space in a magazine in 1899. People were very interested in this article and start getting request for printing more copies of it. This article become one of the most published document ever.
What was the most interesting thing in it that made it famous in the world. Hubbard wrote about Rowan (an army officer) who delivered the message to Garcia in Cuba. McKinley (president of united states) gave him letter to take it to Garcia. Now one thing has to be noted that Rowan did not ask any thing about Garcia that where is he, how does he look like, how can i get him etc. Rowan was independent, brave and confident on his abilities and attributes.
So, should we be like Rowan?
I really appreciate the courage, bravery, self confidence and will powers of Rowan. He was confident on his abilities that he will find the Garcia and he accomplished this task. We have to develop such kind of belies on our abilities and should have will powers to do any thing. Nothing is impossible for us to achieve unless we know and develop our secret powers that God has blessed us with. Rather then delaying thing, we have to turn them into triumphs. First think and plane your strategies and then go on.
One thing I want to say that if you are given an order to do something or accomplish a task you have to be independent on your abilities and attributes. Rowan did not ask any question because he was confident on his abilities but this should not be done in every case. Like if you are asked to climb up the mountains in the specific time and just after that you start climbing up. First try to find the facilities and resources provided to you. Getting help from all those facilities and resources and use your abilities, attributes, power, potential and skills with it to accomplish that task so that you may achieve it in short time and save some time to do something new. But when the situation are critical like war was going on b/w America and Spain and it is the matter of the honor of your country and the result of loosing war can be dangerous and too difficult to re invade it. Rather then wasting your time in asking idiotic questions, you have to be mad and achieve it with the help of your own abilities and powers as Rowan did it. While climbing up the mountains, if you loose first time you can do it again and again so you have to give some time to find out the facilities and resources which are given to you.
