Amir Taimur, was someone who was so firm and unfaltering in every predicament, that he did not cower from any misfortune. When the reason for this was sought from him, he said:
“Once, having fled from my enemies and seeking refuge in the ruins of a worn down and dilapidated building. I was reflecting over my future when my eyes suddenly fell upon a small and weak Ant, carrying a grain bigger than itself, endeavouring to climb to the top of a wall.”
“Looking carefully and counting accurately, I found that the grain had dropped from its clutches sixty seven times before the Ant finally managed to make it to the top of the wall with it. The spectacle of this effort on the part of the Ant infused within me strength of such great magnitude that I am never able to forget it.”
“I said to myself: O’ Taimur! You are by no means inferior to an Ant. Arise and get back to work. I got up and gathered my resolve till I eventually came to acquire the courage that I now possess.”
Moral: Falling down is not defeat. Defeat is when you refuse to get up...
"People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. But the confusion arises in the world when people are used and things are loved”.
