Few years ago, in Monterey, California, crisis was increased. During those years, Monterey was a paradise for pelicans. It’s happen because after clean their fishes, all fisherman/sailors were giving the fishes’ gut into those birds. Those birds became fat and lazy.
Finally, a commercial alternative way in gut’s processing was developed. Those birds were not having their meal anymore for free. But, this condition didn’t change their habits, they still lazy to get their own food. They just wait, wanted for someone’ help to give them gut anymore. A wish that never comes again in Monterey… So then, lots of them were hungered and died. It seems that those birds were forgot how to get their meal by themself.
An opposite approach was taken by an old lady who was waited for her bus. She was lame because her rheumatic and her weariness because of her goods that she brought. After the bus’ door was opened, a man try to help her. He stretched his hand and try offering an assist for this old lady. This old lady was smiling and shaking her head. She said, “I’ll do it by myself young man..., if I have any help today I wish I could have it again tomorrow, again and again for next 2 days, next month, next year until I die”. “Let me do it without help”….
George Bernard Shaw ever said, "People are always blaming themselves upon their hopelessness or helplessness. “I don’t belief with this condition or it’s (just) our destiny”, are sentences that usually come from those kind of people. A person who is success in this world is person that gets up and obtains the conditions what they want to be. And, if they don’t get what they want, they will make it”... How about you? In what side will you taken?
Just keep on moving you will change your destiny if you want to … "No one will fasten your fate if you don’t do it by yourself”
