BabatundeGPD: When he was a little boy his uncle
called him “Sparky”, after a comic-
strip horse named Spark Plug.
School was all but impossible for
Sparky. He failed every subject in
the eighth grade. He flunked
physics in high school, getting a
grade of zero. He also flunked
Latin, algebra and English. And his
record in sports wasn’t any better.
Though he did manage to make
the school’s golf team, he
promptly lost the only important
match of the season. Oh, there
was a consolation match; he lost
that too. Throughout his youth,
Sparky was awkward socially. It
wasn’t that the other students
disliked him; it’s just that no one
really cared all that much. In fact,
Sparky was astonished if a
classmate ever said hello to him
outside of school hours. There’s
no way to tell how he might have
done at dating. He never once
asked a girl out in high school. He
was too afraid of being turned
down… or perhaps laughed at.
Sparky was a loser. He, his
classmates… everyone knew it. So
he learned to live with it. He made
up his mind early that if things
were meant to work out, they
would. Otherwise he would
content himself with what
appeared to be his inevitable
mediocrity. One thing WAS
important to Sparky, however —
drawing. He was proud of his
artwork. No one else appreciated
it. But that didn’t seem to matter
to him. In his senior year of high
school, he submitted some
cartoons to the the yearbook. The
editors rejected the concept.
Despite this brush-off, Sparky was
convinced of his ability. He even
decided to become an artist. So,
after completing high school,
Sparky wrote Walt Disney Studios.
They asked for samples of his
artwork. Despite careful
preparation, it too was rejected.
One more confirmation that he
was a loser. But Sparky still didn’t
give up. Instead, he decided to tell
his own life’s story in cartoons.
The main character would be a
little boy who symbolized the
perpetual loser and chronic
underachiever. You know him
well. Because Sparky’s cartoon
character went on to become a
cultural phenomenon of sorts.
People readily identified with this
“lovable loser.” He reminded
people of the painful and
embarrassing moments from
their own past, of their pain and
their shared humanity. The
character soon became famous
worldwide: “Charlie Brown.” And
Sparky, the boy whose many
failures never kept him from
trying, whose work was rejected
again and again,… is the highly
successful cartoonist Charles
Schultz. His cartoon strip,
“Peanuts,” continues to inspire
books, T-shirts
and Christmas specials, reminding
us, as someone once commented,
that life somehow finds a way for
all of us, even the losers. Sparky’s
story reminds us of a very
important principle in life. We all
face difficulty and
discouragement from time to
time. We also have a choice in
how we handle it. If we’re
persistent, if we hold fast to our
faith, if we continue to develop
the unique talents God has given
us, who knows what can happen?
We may end up with an insight
and an
ability to inspire that comes only
through hardship. In the end,
there are no “losers” with God.
Some winners just take longer to
develop! Say to urself "Am a winner"
