Finishers Wanted...

I remember hearing a talk given by President Thomas S. Monson

in which he described the marks of a true finisher.

(read Ensign June 1989)

There are 6 marks of a true finisher:

                         1.  The mark of vision.

                         2.  The mark of effort.

                         3.  The mark of faith.

                         4.  The mark of virtue.

                         5.  The mark of courage.

                         6.  The mark of prayer.

Embodied in finishing a full time mission are all of the above.

A mission takes stick-to-it-iveness.

Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;

Beginners are many, but enders are few.

Honor, power, place and praise

Will always come to the one who stays. 

Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;

Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it, too;

For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile

Will come life’s victories after a while.
