Daily motivation - June 05, 2008
One day, there was a man standing on a bridge. He stood at the side of the bridge and planning to commit suicide by jumping down to the river. He was in despair because he could no more to face his life because of too many burdens he must took. His business was in total bankruptcy, his wife wanted to divorce him and his family was broken.
Suddenly, there was a beggar passing him by and asked for some money to buy some food to eat. And without thinking for long, the man took his money out of his pocket and gave it to the beggar. After thanking to the man, he asked him, “Sorry, sir. Why are you here? What are you doing on this bridge?” And the man spoke slowly, “I am bored with my life and I want to end my own life by jumping down to the river.”
Then the beggar immediately gave the money back to the man and said, “Sorry, I can’t take money from a coward like you. Look at me! I am a beggar, with no money, no family and no friend. But I’ve never thought even once to end my life. In fact, there is a man worse than I am. See you.”
Finally, he was aware of what the beggar said and decided not to follow his plan. He then thanked to the beggar.
Message for readers:
Everyday and every time, we always have some problems or troubles visiting us. No matter who you are, there is nobody free from them. But the problem is there are some people who can face their problems and then find the way to solve them, and the others are trapped by them and then feel depressed.
One of the good thinking or mindset is that you have to realize that problems or troubles are not designed to make you down or to make you weaker. They are designed and come to your life to make you better than you are today. Because when you face your problems and succeed in solving them, you will be more confident enough to face others and make you stronger and better.
You can ask successful people and you will find out that they have their own problems too. But they consider and believe that the problems are positive things that can unleash their true power and capacity to find the way to solve them and make themselves grow up high.
No matter what or how many problems you have, face it, solve it and see yourself grow better and stronger than you are today. Behind success, there is failure. Behind problems, there is a positive thing you can take.
