When the friend came to see his him, he was reading a law book. ‘By reading this law book are you going to become the president of America?’ The guest asked. It was a scornful and sarcastic remark. ‘That I don’t know. But one thing is sure. I am ready to accept whatever is given to me by God.’ Replied the host. The name of that host who was reading the law book was Abraham Lincoln. We know what happened later. That is part of the history of the world.
There are always certain people who look at our small efforts with utmost contempt. They focus not on our merits but on our circumstances- our financial position, education, job, our physical environment etc. We know that Abraham Lincoln was brought up in a poor family. Nobody would be ready to think that a person from such a poor background can easily achieve high prospects in life. People who are cynical and jealousy will always under estimate those who aspire for achievements in life. ‘You can never get this’. Making such remarks they always dispirit others. Sometimes some of those do so will be very close to our life. However discard the opinions of such people and go ahead with your undying spirit and enthusiasm. That is the only way to succeed in life. The negative comments of others won’t do any good to our life. Therefore do not heed to the negative comments. We can succeed in our life many ways. But it is ideal to thankfully acknowledge the God’s blessings behind our every achievement. Do believe that our path is already set by the God. Then we won’t get frustrated at any stage in our life. Therefore continue with your hard work and efforts and believe that God’s will is the ultimate one.
