The Edison story
I look upon happiness and sorrow alike. In both the
situations, I don't abandon the God's name (NAAM). I have faith in the
benevolence of the One who forgives me and unites me with himself.
Once
upon a time there was a woman who was not well and was in coma for a year. All
the doctors and her relatives had lost the hope of her waking up.
However,
her husband did not give up hope on her and kept talking to her, telling his
daily routine, wishes, etc. In the end a miracle happened. After a year, she
woke up and said to her husband, that she could hear all that he was saying, it
was just that she did not have the ability to come to consciousness and respond
to it. The fact that he did not give up on her, made her get back to conscience
after a year. You know, Our
greatest weakness lies in giving up.
LIFE ISN'T EASY.
At times it become so tough, that we give up out of exhaustion.
Thomas Alva Edison, who faced so many failure initially before succeeding in
making a light bulb, never gave up, even after 1000 trials. He did not
consider it as an impossible task . He took it in a positive way and always
said that he had not failed in making a bulb, he had just learnt 1000 ways to
make a wrong bulb.
He said something which has changed my thinking.
Whenever I feel like giving up, I remind myself of what Edison said – "When
you think that you have exhausted all the possibilities to approach a problem,
remind yourself that you haven't”.
Don't give up on the good things in life. I know that we can't hold on to
everything in life, somethings need to be buried and left out, but as long as
you can, hold on to what's valuable and close to your heart.
Leave the rest to God. He’ll make things work.
HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT BE PREPARED
FOR THE WORST!
KEEP TRYING AND SOMEDAY YOU'LL GET IT RIGHT.
TRY JUST ONE MORE TIME!
