SUCCESS THROUGH DIFFICULTIES

If you can travel through life without difficulty, the journey would be meaningless, uninteresting and uninspiring. Out of difficulty, men have built the greatest strength of characters. We only see their successes but not what they went through. Otherwise, how did Bill Gates survive after his first business failure? What did Albert Einstein do to overcome his childhood emotional pain of not being able to speak until he was four years old? How did Jim Carrey cope with the effect of homelessness? What can Bethany Hamilton's experience, of having her arm bitten off by a shark, teach us about setbacks? Who would have thought Benjamin Franklin could amount to anything in life when he dropped out of school at age ten? Richard Branson has dyslexia, and so what? Having Stephen King's first novel rejected 30 times only added more value to his chance of success in life. The list is endless. The reality is that not everyone of us will ever become a 'Bill Gates' or an 'Albert Einstein' or 'Jim Carrey' or 'Bethany Hamilton' or 'Benjamin Franklin' or 'Richard Branson.' But everyone of us can achieve our full potential if we have the will. No one can stop you without your cooperation. The requirement is....never giving up. Some people achieve their greatest breakthrough the moment they hit the hardest rock in their lives. Unfortunately, this is when some people give up. A man or a woman with a purpose and determination, no matter how poor his or her chance in life, you will hear from them. A purpose-driven life is unstoppable, no matter the obstacles or difficulties.
