I. I walk down the street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost.....I am helpless; it isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. II. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place; but it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. III. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in....it's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. IV. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. V. I walk down a different street. |

| Assalaamu alaikum, This is the biography of a successful person. Everyone encounters stage 1. And almost everyone passes through stages 2 and, to a lesser extent, stage 3; these stages in life are almost inevitable. The successful ones are those who realize their mistakes soon and move on to stage 4 and 5. So se7en did you write this? Most probably the anser is yes :) Wasalaam. |
