Is Life Being Unfair On You...

 

 

Around two weeks ago I was called to judge a talent contest at one

of the city colleges. I noticed all the participants were given slips of

paper with a topic written on it and told to come up and speak for three

minutes. Lots were drawn as to who would be the first speaker and the next and

the next.

The first contestant I noticed looked a little disgruntled as he got onto

the podium to address the others.

 

"My fellow students and respected judges," he said loudly, "this is an

unfair contest!"

 

I, along with my fellow judges looked up surprised. "I have been given this

paper," he continued, "to speak on a subject with just a few minutes

preparation whereas those after me have more time to work on their

speech.

This is unfair!" He then proceeded to leave the stage and stormed

out of the hall. Nobody missed him and the contest went on smoothly.

 

I met him on the landing as I was being escorted out later.

 

"Who said life is fair?" I asked him with a smile. He looked at me

startled and I asked him to walk with me to my car. "Life," I told him, "is

fighting the unfair and still winning! Do you read automobile magazines?"

 

"Yes," he said eagerly, "I do."

 

"Have you seen statistics shown when a new car is being introduced

into the

market? They talk about speed and torque and transmission and horse

power."

 

"Yes," he nodded.

 

"But there is a line they put after all these figures. They say all

this data is when there are ideal road conditions!"

 

"Yes," he said again.

 

"Show me ideal road conditions?" I asked him and he smiled. "The car

that sells well," I continued is the car that will deliver power and

speed and durability in the worst of roads, in potholes and mud and slush.

That car is a winner!"

 

We had reached my car and he stood by my side as I heaved myself

in. "Don't look for ideal playing conditions," I said. "Fight the unfair and

come out a winner!" I looked back in my rear view mirror as I drove away and

saw him smile and wave and knew he would fight the unfair from now on.

 

The fight never stops. Ask all the successful people in our own

country.

They fight regardless whether the battle is fair or unfair. Stop

telling the world about the unfair deal you've got out of life; start battling

the unfair, come out victorious.!

A wonderful piece of mail.Life is only for people who fight their way and not

for weaklings.The success srory of all great men start from suffering and thru

sheer will power and dynamism they come up.So it is no use of crying over that

life is not fair to me.Life is not a bed of roses for many but those thorns

shuld be made into a bed of roses by sheer hard work,faith in God.A lovely

story.Really laudable.sairam.

I humbly ask you to pray to join in prayer for him. we all know the miracles

that our Lord has performed -my family is now hoping for amiracle.

Perhaps the following lines

may inspire us :-------------

 

 

"Gulaab khilta hai aur mahktaa hai,

Be-khabar ki kaante bhee hai uske daman me"

 

( The rose blossoms & spreads its

fragrance,not caring that the thorns

are there around it.)

 

With Sai Love,
