Tears of Pearls

One day a young shells on the seabed complained to his mother because a grain of sand sharply into the red and flabby body . " My son, " his mother said as she tearfully, "Allah does not give us, the people of shells, a hand too , so she can not help you . " The mother was silent , for a moment, " I know that my son was sick . However accept it as the natural destiny . Strengthen your heart . Never too frisky again . Make Use zeal against the sense of pain and pain that bite . Balutlah sand it with sap your stomach . Only that which can you do , " his mother said with a wistful and gentle .

Children also do advice her mother shells . There are results , but sometimes the pain is still felt . Sometimes in the midst of his pain , he doubted the advice of his mother . With tears he survived , many years . But without realizing it, a pearl begins to form in the flesh . Increasingly smoother . The pain was diminishing . And the greater the longer the pearl . The pain becomes even more reasonable .

Finally after so many years , large pearl , intact shiny , and expensive also formed . Misery turned into pearls; her tears turned into very valuable . Himself now , as a result of many years of suffering , is worth more than a million other shellfish that people eat just as shellfish stew in the street .

The story above is a paradigm that explains that suffering is transcendental hallway to make " shells ordinary " to " extraordinary shells " .

Because it can be emphasized that the disappointment and suffering can change the " common man " to " extraordinary people " .

Many people who go out at the transcendental hallway , because they can not stand the ordeal they experienced . There are two options that could actually they belong : into shells ` normal ' person or a ' eat shellfish that produce pearls ' . Unfortunately , more and more people are taking the first option , so it is not surprising that the number of people less successful than those who ` mediocre ' .

Maybe this time we are experiencing rejection , disappointment , heartbreak , or injured because of the people around you try For keep smiling and keep running in the hallway , and she say in your heart .. " My tears and my pain is reckoned God .. this will turn me into a pearl . " Hopefully ........
