A clay pot sitting in the sun will always be a clay pot. It has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become porcelain.
Mildred White Struven
Have you been cheated? Have you been let down by your friends? Have you been punished for no fault of yours? Have you been treated unfairly? Have you met with failures in spite of your hard work? Have you ever felt frustrated and tense due to excessive over work? Have you ever spent sleepless nights due to emotional disturbances?
If so, and I'm sure most of us have experienced some of this at sometime or other, read the above quotation!
I wrote somewhere that the biggest university in the world is the `University of Life'. Every person whom you come across has something to teach you, whether you are willing to learn or not, whether you like it or not. Some lessons will be very bitter and they will be delivered to you at a time when you are least prepared.
Disappointment, stress, tension and work pressure prepare you for a better and higher responsibility in life. The most successful person is the most tested person. In any manufacturing plant, the products are given an endurance test and only the model which endures all the tests will be introduced into the market.
Cut the above quotation and carry it with you. When you are feeling depressed and disappointed, read the same and you will be in a better position to endure the same!
