DESPITE OF NOTHING...

A STORY OF MINE

Success over an Obstacle

"By earth, by all her fountains, streams, and floods."

We all started as a scratch, blank empty yet, beyond emptiness, a simple thought will glimpse inside that will light up the pathways going to the stars and shimmering gems of our dreams. It might be perfect but behind every perfection there will always be obstacles and adversities that will test the determination of a person; and these problems will molds you towards the shape you wanted.

A story of a little boy, He talked loudly with pure and firm convictions in front of court. When he was done some of the folks came over to his place and renders a warm gratitude to what he did to them. He was so happy then, because he already achieved his goal which is to serve people. Suddenly, someone rushed him with a slap that made him awake. He slowly opened his eyes and an elite uttered him “aren’t you underestimating yourself, you can’t even articulate your own words well.”                                                          

Time ran quickly, his ambition came true and he became a lawyer but still he stammers all the time since he was a kid. Another person told him he badly speaks most of the time. Instead of losing courage, it gives him too much motivation and he made it as his strength and he was so determined to his desires. He went to many libraries to read, churches to consult priest, and seashores as well as in plateau just to learn and practice more in public speaking. Till one day he reached the peak of the mountain and he realized that his ambition was being achieved. Then, he was called as the worlds Greatest Orator.

Now, I realize that even I struggle for an auspicious career on the near future; there will always be an obstacle that should be faced. I remembered in the book of Elizabeth Roosevelt “even, you fail for 19 times, but if you strive hard, you’ll succeed for more than 20 times” I realize that in order for you to learn you need to fall but beyond that you’ll be honed towards the greatness of life.

It was stated on his story that “if at first you don’t succeed try and try again...” it would sound cliché but it is the most substantial quote from the world’s Greatest Orator who is Demosthenes.
