I have recently read the story about a young multi-millionaire. In his late thirties, he was getting ready to retire. The locals were preparing a big party for him and wanted to listen to the secret of his success. At the party, he began to sum up that secret in three words, “and then some.” Every audience was a little bit disappointed with the simple phrase and was wondering what he meant by that. The multi-millionaire said, "Let me explain. When I started grade school, I made up my mind that I was going to do everything that the teachers asked me to do, and then some. Consequently, I graduated from high school the top of my class and headed off for college. During my college years, I did everything that my college professors asked me to do - and then some.” This multi-millionaire graduated at the head of his class. After graduating the college, he was hired at a big company. He said, “The manager told me to come each morning at eight o’clock and work until five. So, I came at seven and worked until six. Consequently, in just a few short years, I had risen right to the top of the company and became president of the company. But then I realized that in order to really succeed, I would have to have my own company; so I organized my own company. I decided in the very beginning that I would give my customers everything that they had a right to expect -and then some. Consequently, after a little while my first company was such a fabulous success. Then I organized the second company; then a third company and a fourth. Now, I’ve sold my companies and I’m retiring as a multi-millionaire because of those three little words - AND THEN SOME.” (Going The Second Mile - www.white-fields.org) I wonder where he got that idea. Do you think he attended one of the famous business seminars? No, I think that he got it right from “the extra mile principle” that Jesus said in Matthew 5:41.
