Life's a constant struggle

Life is a constant struggle isnt it?
be it struggle to catch up on our sch work, expectations, all of us are all struggling in life's journey.

Why is tat so? diamonds are made from carbon. But the earth composes mainly of carbon. Why is it that diamonds are so rare? before the diamond can be formed, the carbon has to go through a long period of high temperature and pressure..


Life is like tat isnt it? Only by experiencing life's tests and hardship can we sparkle and shine like a diamond...

like to share this story that i hold true in my heart for some time now.


There was this wise man who lived in this mountain. It is said that he is so wise that there is no questions that he cannot answer. There was this young punk who wanted to shoot down this belief. So he pondered and pondered for a way to embarrase the wise man. Finally he thought of a brillant plan. And so with the ultimate plan that he had thought up, he went up to the mountain to seek the wise man.

When he got there, he took out a sparrow which he had caught earlier and held it in his hand. Then he proceeded to say to the wise man. " Wise man, they say you know the answer to all questions. Since you are so wise tell me this; Is this sparrow in my hand dead or alive?"

The plan was to crush the sparrow with his hand if the wise man say it's alive and let it go when the wise man say that it's dead.

The wise man just shook his head and looked at him. he said" Son, the fate of the sparrow is in your hand. YOU decide if you want that sparrow to be dead or alive"

LIKEWISE, your destiny is in your own hands. YOU and ONLY YOU decide what you want it to be. Advice can be given to ease you along the way but ULTIMATELY YOU DECIDE on what is it that you want...
ps: i know my english sucks but the main point here is to convey the idea and not essay writing.
