I have been reading about how today's successful people became successful. It was nothing less than inspiring. These people have most things in common; they started with a hard life. So hard that if any of us hear or read their stories would think that they would never have a bright future.
JK Rowling, any Harry Potter fan would know her as a creative writer who magically spellbound the whole world with her enchanted story of witchcraft and wizardry series. But she didnt get where she is now through easy way. She survived under welfare and almost penniless, divorced and had to raise her child. But her determination paid so well that she is now among the richest woman in the world.
Indeed, stories like this make us think, how successful are we now and did we achieve it the right way? Should we go through those painful period to be successful? But what about those who were born with silver spoon fed in their mouth, could they be successful, too? I personally agree that no matter how depressing or embarrassing the time that we have to endure, there must be a reason. Maybe some of us would look back at our school/college/university days, we were embarrassed by the cool kids, speak with grammatical error all over the place, or even extremely under dressed when we see our friends with their gorgeous outfit and cutting edge mobile phone(s). And when we look now how much have we progressed throughout the years, we know that it is never easy to get where we are now. Let others say we could only afford to dream sky high, but if we put all our efforts in it, determination and most importantly our relationship to God, the sky is the limit, and let them see in the future how much we can prove to them and whose looking up to who.
