Many years ago, Sir Isaac Newton had an exact replica of our solar system in a plastic form. At its center was a large golden ball representing the sun, and revolving around it were small spheres attached at the ends of rods of varying lengths. They represented Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the other planets
These were all geared together by cogs and belts to make them move around the "sun" in perfect harmony. One day as Newton was studying the model, a friend who did not believe in the biblical account of creation stopped by for a visit.
Marvelling at the device and watching as the scientist made the heavenly bodies move on their orbits, the man exclaimed. "My, Newton, what an exquisite thing! Who made it for you?" Without looking up, Sir Isaac replied, "Nobody." "Nobody?" his friend asked. "That's right! I said nobody! All of these balls and cogs and belts and gears just happened to come together, and of wonders, by chance they began revolving in their set orbits and with perfect timing." The unbeliever got the message! Some friends are like that, they ask foolish and stupid questions to provoke you, just at the point when you seems to hit your target!
It was foolish to suppose that the model merely happened by accident. But it was even more senseless to accept the theory that the earth and the vast universe came into being by chance.
And it is much more foolish to think that because of the difficulties you are facing, you have to accept it as your faith! Everything that happens in your life is for a purpose, deal with it, don't ever ask why me, because everybody has his or Her own issues to deal with.
It depend on you to determine how long you want to take to deal with it, why do you wallow in depression or despair? Aristotle said: "It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way." Did you get that?
For you to succeed is just "ONE WAY" and that one way is to hold on a day longer! Look up and believe in your abilities!
