A Story To Share...

Having a little faith is very useful. There is a simple story that I always tell myself when things doesn't go smoothly as I wanted.

once upon a time in China, there was a farmer who only had a horse. He lived with his wife and only son. One day, his horse went loose and they could not find it anywhere around his house. The Farmer was very sad and worried as he had no other possession to help him in his farming. He thought he was the most unlucky person in the world.

A week later, his horse came back, bring along another black horse with it. The farmer filled with joy and he thought he was not as unlucky as he thought after all. That unlucky incident turn out to be a lucky one.

His only son was very strong and he determined to train the black horse. When he was training in the fields, he fell from the horse back and was paralysed permanently. The farmer was devastated and felt like it was the end of his whole world as he put all his family legacy and hope on his only son. He lived in pain and sadness from that day onwards.

Months later, there was a war between the interstates of China. The King summon all strong men throughout the country to fight in the war. The farmer's son was paralysed and so he was not selected to be in the army. All the others who were summoned died int he war. The farmer was so grateful and that his sum was not able to walk, which spared his live.

Sometimes in live, we need to had a little faith and trust, as everything happens for a reason. Therefore, whenever things look like there is no way out, it could be the only blessing one can ask for.
