BEFORE YOU GIVE UP

BEFORE YOU GIVE UP

      

      An old farmer loved his garden. 🌳He also had a watch he loved. He loved the watch in such a way that he always went with it in his garden.🌳 Unfortunately one day, his precious watch fell into hay. "Ohhh! 🌳This is unexpected, how will somebody today start searching for the watch." the old man mused.🌳

He decided to look for the watch within the hay without tiring. But he was too old to continue with the task.🌳 So he called some boys who were around to help him with the search. They searched and couldn't find the watch. 🌳He promised to give anyone a very precious gift if they found the watch...he loved his watch so much.🌳

The boys searched earnestly till it was evening.🌳 Searching for a watch among hay is tricky and tidous. So they gave up when they realized it was evening.🌳 "Or you forgot it somewhere in the house and can't remember." one of the boys pondered. "I didn't.🌳 Am still good with memory and I truely remember having it with me in this garden.🌳 It only fell because I may have not tied it well." the old man replied.🌳

The boys set out to their homes without any progress.🌳 Early the next morning, one of the boys came back for the search.🌳 He anticipated the watch to be in that hay, just that they had not searched well. So he only came with a different strategy.🌳 Intelligent as he was, he knew giving up would not solve the problem.🌳 He knew he had an upper hand in solving the problem. He came with his strategy.🌳 Well knowing that the watch has a tiktak sound; He was to listen soulfully. Bending over he held his breath.🌳 He listened to the sound. "Oh, I hear it." he said. He re-searched through the hay. What was seemingly useless effort paid off. 🌳From the moments of listening and searching came good news. He finally found the precious watch.🌳 The old man had seen him earlier on and thought he was wasting time. But the young brilliant boy came and presented the watch. 🌳The man was so happy and gifted the boy an expensive gift.

Searching every day may be the thing that we do.🌳 But searching with strategy is another we should think about.🌳 What you have started is precious and has an end in itself. There is a reward that awaits you at the end of your hardwork. 🌳You may not know how precious the reward will be when you attain it! But the time will come when you attain it.🌳 If you think you should give up, you should have this before you give up; - stategized persistence. 🌳

                 GOD BLESS YOU
