I NEED TO THINK ON IT
A very inspiring article worth reading:
Once
there was a man who did not make it to university. So, his mother got
him a wife. After the marriage, he worked as a teacher in a primary
school. Due to the lack of experience, he was squashed by the students
in less than a week..
Later
on, he found another job and not for so long, he was fired due to his
slowness. This time, the wife commented. 'There are always people who
are skilful and non skilful. Some have experience from their years of
work. As for you, you were in school all this while. So, how could you
acquire these needed skills?'
| |||
He
went for a number of jobs but never stayed long in those jobs. Each
time, he would return home with a dejected spirit. His wife would always
comfort him and never for once, she was disappointed or resentful.
| |||
He
was in his thirties when he acquired a flair in languages. He became a
counsellor in a school for the deaf and mute. Later on, he opened a
school for the disabled. A few years later, he set up chain stores in
different cities and provinces selling apparatus & equipment for the
disabled. He became a multi-millionaire. He was John Doe!
| |||
One day he asked his wife. 'When I was looking bleak at my own future, what's the reason that you have so much faith in me?'
| |||
His
wife gave him a very simple reply. She said, 'When a piece of land is
not suitable for planting wheat, we could try planting beans. If the
beans are not growing well, we could try planting fruits or gourds. If
the vegetation is not economical, we can instead scatter buckwheat
seeds. These seeds will one day bloom into flowers. On this land itself,
there will be one seed that will germinate and grow.'
| |||
After
having listened to the wife's explanation, he cried. His wife's faith,
love, patience, and persistence in him is liken to the one seed in the
land. This is the seed that persists and creates the miracle on this
piece of land.
