Struggle makes POWER

ear Friends,

Below is a short story of an old man, who was a wagon builder in North Carolina.

Whenever the old man cleared the land for cultivation, he always left a few oak trees in the middle of the field. Now these trees were at the mercy of the elements, unsheltered by other trees in the forest. It was from those trees that this old man used to make the wagon’s wheels. Because these trees were forced to struggle against the fury of nature, they grew strong enough to bear the heaviest load.

What is the learning here?
Difficult challenges should always be welcomed, for the greatest opportunities will only come from challenges, that force you to expand your mind as you search for creative solutions.
During life’s bleakest hours, take solace in the face that you are strengthening yourself through struggle so that in the future you will be prepared to take on even greater challenges.

Like the old oak tree, we all can grow strong only when we are forced to struggle.

Any different takes on the same.

Cheers,

B
