THE GREATNESS AMONG MEN

in #greatness8 years ago

Once upon a time, an elephant and a dog fell pregnant at same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months on it gave birth to another dozen puppies. The pattern continued. On the eighteenth month the dog approached the elephant questioning, _"Are you sure that you are pregnant? We fell pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What’s going on?" The elephant replied, _
"There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth once in two years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration, what I carry draws attention. So what I'm carrying is mighty and great."……. Don't lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers.
Don't be envious of others testimony. If you haven't received your own blessings, don't despair. Say to yourself "My time is coming, and when it hits the surface of the earth, people shall yield in admiration..

                                                                                       KEY NOTES

1 The greatness of a man is determined by the power of his thought; great men are men who trade on thought.
2 Your being will always tell of your greatness and the standard of individual you are.
3 The very essence of need is to challenge us to do something that is humanly impossible.
