Many become inefficient by evading responsibilities for fear of failure. Thus they fail of gaining that education which results from experience, and which reading and study and all the advantages otherwise gained, cannot give them.
Man can shape circumstances, but circumstances should not be allowed to shape the man. We should seize upon circumstances as instruments with which to work. We are to master them, but should not permit them to master us. GW 292.1 - GW 292.2

God does not regard all sins as of equal magnitude; there are degrees of guilt in His estimation, as well as in that of man; but however trifling this or that wrong act may seem in the eyes of men, no sin is small in the sight of God. Man's judgment is partial, imperfect; but God estimates all things as they really are. The drunkard is despised and is told that his sin will exclude him from heaven; while pride, selfishness, and covetousness too often go unrebuked. But these are sins that are especially offensive to God; for they are contrary to the benevolence of His character, to that unselfish love which is the very atmosphere of the unfallen universe. He who falls into some of the grosser sins may feel a sense of his shame and poverty and his need of the grace of Christ; but pride feels no need, and so it closes the heart against Christ and the infinite blessings He came to give.

The immensely popular game of soccer, also known as football, was originally created at the Freemason’s Arm Pub near London’s Covent Garden in 1863. In the process of deliberating the rules of the game, Masons created two categories of football: association football and rugby football. Initially, the differences between the two were blurry, but by 1874, they had settled into the distinct sports we know them to be today. There are even aspects of soccer and rugby that are mirrored in Masonic rituals and traditions. For example, the signal used by a soccer referee to indicate a successful goal is also used by the Master Mason during meetings. Even the leadership structure and meeting rituals of the Football Association incorporate many key practices associated with Freemasonry.
