A very rich man had only one daughter. When the daughter was of
marriage age, the father sent news around town that all the eligible
young men should come to compete in a test which would
determine who was fit to marry his daughter. .
On that day, all the able-bodied young men came out. Some came
with paper and biro and others with cutlasses and swords.
.
The rich man took them to his swimming pool and addressed the
men: ''Any of you who can swim from one end of this swimming pool to the other
would marry my daughter. In addition, I'll give him 3 wishes, 15
million dollars, a car and a house so they can start life well, I shall be
waiting to meet my son-in-law at the other side. Good luck!''
.
As the young men, all very excited at the prospect of winning, started taking off their shirts, a helicopter came over the pool and
dropped snakes and crocodiles into the pool.
.
Immediately, all the men turned back and started wearing their
shirts again.
Disappointed, some of them said, ''Thats crazy, lets see who can marry that girl ,no one will'.
.
All of a sudden, they heard a splash in the pool.
Everybody watched in amazement as one gentleman struggled his
way across, avoiding the snakes and crocodiles. Finally, he made it to
the other side.
.
The rich man could not believe it. He asked the young man to make a
wish of anything he wanted but the man was still panting
uncontrollably.
. Finally, he got himself and made a request saying,
''SHOW ME THE PERSON WHO PUSHED ME INSIDE THIS POOL!''
.
.
Moral : You don't know what you are capable of doing, until you are
PUSHED!!. You can still make the most out of the rest of the YEAR. Sometimes it takes going through the bad moments to bring out the
BEST in us.
I PRAY SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WILL PUSH YOU READING THIS INTO
GREATER HEIGHTS TODAY..
