THE BRASS RING!


The Brass Ring!

Have you ever heard of the Brass Ring? Long time ago on the Merry-Go-Round they had set-up on a par a semi brass ring and the object was as the merry go round came around you were suppose to grab the ring. If you got it, well you would win either money or life time rides on the Merry-Go-Round.

            But what people didn’t know was the ring was place strategy just far enough away so it was unreachable. So no matter how hard you tried to reach out and grab it, it was impossible to grab. This was a marketing tool used to get you to buy more rides.

            Now the price of a ticket to ride as only ten cents but that ten cents would turn into a dollar and than two dollars before they would give up. Think about it, ten cents or one dollar was a lot of money back in the thirties and forties. Why, the premium for a life insurance police was ten cents a month for a life insurance policy.

            A fellow wanting to impress a girl would spend his whole weeks pay check just for one more try. Most of the time He would fail and get off the ride, broke, disappointed, and angry that he had failed.

            How many times in life do we try to grab that brass ring? Buying a lottery ticket every week for that one chance it will be the winner! The numbers come up and no, it wasn’t the right one. The next week, next month, the next year, maybe it’ll be the right one. But for most it never comes.

Well, don’t be discouraged, one day that ticket might just win. Maybe you’ll be the one to grab that brass ring. When, the time is right, and the planets line up in the right order it just might be possible. As I tell my children, never give up, try, try, and try again.

“May God Bless!”
