Great comebacks Joseph Mooibroek is an immigrant from the Netherlands. Told by grade school teachers he was not smart enough for anything but vocational training, his parents brought him to America - the Land of Opportunity. Joseph thrived and founded the American Medical Electronics Co. His wealth came from developing a portable electronic de- vice that helps heal severe fractures. This was a bone growth stimulator that could be wom on the golf course. So successful at his work, his competitors began to connive to put him out of business. He was slapped with a trumped-up law- suit for patent infringement and any 'out -of court' settlement was denied. Joseph faced a $10 million judgement and was bankrupt! His first question was, "Why did this happen to me?" His sec- ond concern was, "How could such bad guys be so successful?" And then Joseph resolved to pursue his vision of helping people - lawsuit or no lawsuit! Well, in the end, Joseph prevailed and made it into Success Magazine's 6th Annual Great Comebacks. Last year Joseph's company netted $20 million in sales. Mooibroek says, "If your vision is right, you'll win." "Dan in the Lion's Den" is every bit a Great Comeback story, even if it did take place almost 1500 years ago. Daniel was a Military Commander for King Darius' government rule. Usually a very corrupt office, Daniel proved to rule fairly and with jus- tice for all people. Just like Mooibroek, Daniel's colleagues connived to put him out of business. But Daniel, too, triumphed by focusing on his vision. You see, for Daniel, God was his No. 1 priority. Whatev- er else was happening in life, Daniel was first of all faithful to his God. It seems to be typical of humanity that we have difficulty' deal- ing with other people's success. Even within the Church, profes- sionals and lay people alike conspire against one another. For many, this seeming pettiness is the reason they no longer share in any kind of structured religion. But what does it benefit the world if we merely accept our hard -knocks, view our world with negative and pessimistic atti- tudes and refuse to contribute anything constructive 'to our world? Within the Church and the secular world, we are always being tempted by impressive rewards. If we join the mediocre; if we play the game; if we buy into the status quo we are promised wealth, status, power, acceptance or a host of other desires. But how much more can be gained by keeping our vision right. Or acting on what is positive and optimistic in our world? We will always have those bad guys in our lives; people who act on their pettiness and jealousies. Not everything in our lives will work out nicely for us. And we will be called upon to live through our own 'night in the lion's den'. God's promise is that if we keep our vision right; focus on what is of ultimate concern and worthiness, God will give to us needed courage and strength. With God all thing are possible and each of us arc promised a great comeback!
