Something New!


My Secondary School Principal once told me that the most difficult thing to do in this world is to start something new. The tasks that appear most difficult to us are those that we've never undertaken before. A new venture, a new challenge, a new job, a new environment, a new home, those are the most difficult moments in any man's life. The question is as always, 'How can i cope?' But in reality, we can never tell how hard or easy a task is until we've tried it. Never adjudge a task as impossible until you've made an effort at it. Remember, as much as other humans have done it before, you can do it only if you try. Also, things like airplanes, cars, mobile phones, the internet and others were once considered impossible. What if the inventors said, 'No man has done this before,' and thus settle for their convenient daily routines, we won't be having this medium of interaction. Bear in mind, the most crucial and important step is the very first step. If you doubt it, ask a child taking his/her first step. If only you can understand his/her blah blah blah, you'll understand and agree with me. The prospect of failing does not stop him/her from trying again. How amazing it is to see the beams of smile and joy they have when they succeed in taking their first step. The parents of that child also feel the joy. It's thrilling to successfully undertake something new. Try something new but worthy today and have the joys of a worthy and successful endeavour. Enjoy!
