From loosening a rusted bolt to cleaning toilet bowls, almost everyone has used WD-40 at one point or another in their life. However, how many of us know the actual story of where WD-40 came from?
We learn from the lab book used by the chemist who developed WD-40 back in 1953 that WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. The chemist at the fledgling Rocket Chemical Company, Norm Larsen, was attempting to invent a formula that would prevent corrosion by displacing water. Norm failed 39 times to invent his formula before his persistence paid off as he perfected the formula on his 40th try. WD-40 actually worked so well that employees snuck cans WD-40 out of the plant to use at home. Now, almost every home has a can of WD-40 somewhere in the house or garage.
As a car guy, I love WD-40 and I have learned a valuable spiritual lesson from the story about WD-40. Never give up. In life and in the gospel, there are times that we get knocked down and as we are trying to get up, we get knocked down again and again. It is easy at those times to want to just stay down, to give up, and to stop trying. Why keep trying if we are just going to get knocked down again? Why keep striving towards perfection when we will keep failing? Giving up is easier than continuing to try. Giving up is the easier path that seems more inviting. When you have these feelings of wanting to give up and turn way from the gospel path and the path of life, reflect on the words spoken by Mary Cook, first counselor in the young women’s general presidency:
As you are growing older, young women, the path is becoming steeper, and you may want to give up. Life is more challenging, filled with decisions and temptations at every turn. Satan will blow winds of confusion that may cause you to question if this is the path you want to take. You may be tempted to try another route, even when signs of danger are posted. You may doubt your abilities, and you may wonder as one young woman did, “Is it really possible to remain virtuous in today’s world?” The answer, my young friends, is “Yes!” And my counsel to you is similar to that given by Winston Churchill during World War II: never, never, never give up! (see “Never Give In” [speech, Harrow School, London, England, Oct. 29, 1941]).
We must never, never, never give in. If Norm Larsen had given up we would not have WD-40. If Winston Church had given up, World War II may have been lost. If each of us gives up, we lose our eternal reward. We lose our reward of returning to our Heavenly Father. We lose our reward of being with our eternal companion forever. Our Heavenly Father will support us as we strive to keep getting back up. Our Heavenly Father will help up to the finish line of life. Never, Never, Never Give In!
Hi folks, I’m a testament that miracles happen. When I turned 18, My grandfather encouraged me to buy a lottery ticket for fun but I wasn’t pleased with the way I kept on playing without winning. I was eager to learn more about how to win the lottery and when I searched the internet I found numerous articles saying how they won the lottery through spell casting and I decided to give it a try by contacting Lord Meduza. I’d love to say that this man is such a sweet soul who got my back all through the process of making me a lottery spell to win the lottery. The numbers he gave me won me the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball of a whopping $48 million Canadian Dollars. Right now, my family and I are blessed. Thank you LORD MEDUZA for making this win come true for me and my family. Anyone that seeks for his help can get in touch with him by Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or via WhatsApp: +1 807 907 2687.
Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery App on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million Dollars on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for help in any area of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via: +1 (807) 907-2687 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com
Hello to everyone, I’m Jefferey Vargas from Malta. My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and aside from God, having more money is often seen as vital. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence.. I strongly encourage everyone to reach him for help via email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or you WhatsApp this number +1 807 907 2687.
