Don King on Casting for Cash
on Sunday, February 23, 2014Don King Money Quotation saying belief in your actions leads to results and doubt leads to being worse off than you started. Don King said:
“If you cast your bread upon the water and you have faith, you’ll get back cash. If you don’t have faith, you’ll get soggy bread” — Don King
This quote from Don King suggests that taking strategic risks and investing effort can lead to positive returns, but only if one has true faith and belief that their efforts will be rewarded.
The best interpretation is that King believed having confidence and trust that “casting your bread upon the water” (i.e. taking a chance) will result in “cash” coming back is essential for success.
According to King, without an inner faith that one’s actions will bear fruit, the most likely outcome is just “soggy bread” or wasted effort.
The implication seems to be that faith in one’s abilities and vision is just as important as the risks or work itself, since it provides the psychological motivation and perseverance to see initiatives through until they are rewarded, rather than giving up with nothing to show in the end but “soggy bread”.
