HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

On His First Day In the office, as the 16th President of United States of America, Abraham Lincoln entered To Give His Inaugural Address, One Man Stood Up, He Was A Rich Aristocrat. He Said;
"Mr. Lincoln, You Should Not Forget That Your Father Used to make Shoes for My Family"
....And the Whole Senate Laughed.
They Thought They Had Made a Fool of Lincoln...
But Certain People Are Made Of A Totally Different Kettle.
Lincoln Looked At the Man Directly In the Eyes and Said
"Sir, I Know That My father used To Make Shoes for Your Family, And There Will Be Many Others Here, Because He made Shoes the Way Nobody Else Can. He Was A Creator. His Shoes Were Not Just Shoes, He Poured His Whole Soul Into Them.
I Want To Ask You, Have You Any Complaint? Because I Know How To Make Shoes Myself. If You Have Any Complaint, I Can Make You Another Pair Of Shoes.
But As Far As I Know, Nobody Has Ever Complained About My Father's Shoes. He Was A Genius, A Great Creator And I Am Proud Of My Father".
The Whole Senate Was Struck Dumb
They Could Not Understand What Kind Of Man Abraham Lincoln Was.
He Was Proud Because His Father Did His Job So Well That Not Even a Single Complaint Had Ever Been Heard.
Remember, No One Can Hurt Us without our Consent.
It is not what happens to us That Hurts Us, It Is Our Response That Hurts Us.
There are people out there whose only job is to hurt others. Don't give them a reason to have so much work on their hands.
DO NOT LET THEIR ATTITUDE HURT YOU, STAND TALL, BE PROUD OF YOUR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, FOR A BRIGHT LIGHT AWAITS YOU AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

FROG IN THE WELL

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well. “Look how well off I am here!” he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. “I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, what more can a fellow ask? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time? " Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right claw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog. “It’s more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased. And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the oc

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

BLIND PAIN

It was a cold day in Hell... When I woke up dizzy I always wake up on the "right side of the bed" and I mean ALWAYS Its almost like the term BEAUTY SLEEP was made for me. I don't feel beautiful this morning. ..mainly because my stomach has been churning and couldn't keep nothing in Or it might be the fact that I feel like I was in an accident over the night's rest and would hurriedly rush back to bed for another.. I stared into my doctor's eyes when she told me I was expecting a baby.....The human brain is always active...thinking, plotting, planning. .I was once told! My brain was empty..BLANK! Its a wonder why she called it a BUNDLE OF JOY...ptff!! She could see I'm not wearing a wedding band and I could see the disgust written on her face OR was I just imagining it?? I really didn't wait to find out or bother.... it's an irony she could see my sadness explicitly and still called my baby a "JOY BUNDLE"....I mean reall
