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,
endeavoring 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 of the Story: Falling down is not defeat...
defeat is when you refuse to get up...
