Story of Never
Give Up
Amir Taimur,
was someone who was so firm and unfaltering in every
predicament, that he did not cower from any misfortune. When the
reason for this was sought from him, he said:
"Once,
having fled from my enemies and seeking refuge in the ruins of a worn down
and dilapidated building,
I was
reflecting over my future when my eyes suddenly fell upon a small and weak
Ant, carrying a grain bigger than itself, endeavoring to climb to the top
of a wall.
"Looking
carefully and counting accurately, I found that the grain had dropped from
its clutches sixty seven times before the Ant finally managed to make it to the
top of the wall with it. The spectacle of this effort on the part of
the Ant infused within me strength of such great magnitude that I am never
able to forget it."
"I said
to myself: O' Taimur! You are by no means inferior to an Ant. Arise and
get back to work. I got up and gathered my resolve till I eventually came
to acquire the courage that I now possess."
Moral of the
Story: Falling down is not defeat...defeat is when you refuse to get up...
