Never Quit

Dear Friends,

Life is beautiful and we still crib about it. Its just being HUMAN and we cant help. Seldom can we think positively when we are crunched in a complicated situation and WE GIVE UP or we blame.

These small stories stands as reminders to us. Whosoever has written it must be having wonderful thoughts. Since I found it good and touching, I thought of reminding all my friends on the same.

There a quite a few stories that I have read or I do touch upon which has made as impact on my life. I would like to share with you guys as well.


NEVER QUIT....

One day a man decided to quit everything... his job, his relationship, his spirituality. He wanted to get rid of his life.

He went to the woods to have one last talk with God. God, he said "Can you give me one good reason not to quit"

God's answer surprised him

"Look around", God said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

The man replied, "Yes".

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo."

God said, "In the third year there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit".

God said, "and then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would
not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle".

God said again, "Did you know, my creation, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others".

God said, "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high".

Moral: In life never lose hope and never give up or QUIT and Success will come to you sooner or later in life.

Cheers,
