BEFORE YOU GIVE UP
An old farmer loved his garden. ๐ณHe also had a watch he loved. He loved the watch in such a way that he always went with it in his garden.๐ณ Unfortunately one day, his precious watch fell into hay. "Ohhh! ๐ณThis is unexpected, how will somebody today start searching for the watch." the old man mused.๐ณ
He decided to look for the watch within the hay without tiring. But he was too old to continue with the task.๐ณ So he called some boys who were around to help him with the search. They searched and couldn't find the watch. ๐ณHe promised to give anyone a very precious gift if they found the watch...he loved his watch so much.๐ณ
The boys searched earnestly till it was evening.๐ณ Searching for a watch among hay is tricky and tidous. So they gave up when they realized it was evening.๐ณ "Or you forgot it somewhere in the house and can't remember." one of the boys pondered. "I didn't.๐ณ Am still good with memory and I truely remember having it with me in this garden.๐ณ It only fell because I may have not tied it well." the old man replied.๐ณ
The boys set out to their homes without any progress.๐ณ Early the next morning, one of the boys came back for the search.๐ณ He anticipated the watch to be in that hay, just that they had not searched well. So he only came with a different strategy.๐ณ Intelligent as he was, he knew giving up would not solve the problem.๐ณ He knew he had an upper hand in solving the problem. He came with his strategy.๐ณ Well knowing that the watch has a tiktak sound; He was to listen soulfully. Bending over he held his breath.๐ณ He listened to the sound. "Oh, I hear it." he said. He re-searched through the hay. What was seemingly useless effort paid off. ๐ณFrom the moments of listening and searching came good news. He finally found the precious watch.๐ณ The old man had seen him earlier on and thought he was wasting time. But the young brilliant boy came and presented the watch. ๐ณThe man was so happy and gifted the boy an expensive gift.
Searching every day may be the thing that we do.๐ณ But searching with strategy is another we should think about.๐ณ 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. ๐ณYou may not know how precious the reward will be when you attain it! But the time will come when you attain it.๐ณ If you think you should give up, you should have this before you give up; - stategized persistence. ๐ณ
GOD BLESS YOU
