The Value Of A Lily

A lily is a type of plant that grows from a bulb with a large white
colored flower. My main reason of using the lily for this post is
because of the inner beauty of this flower, it has an inner layer that
leaves it undamaged when rain falls similarly as humans for us to be
like the lily we should not allow people or conditions we find
ourselves in hinder us from being who we want to be. I have some
examples of some great men who never allowed their present condition
distract them from achieving their goals in life, first on my list is
INGVAR KAMPRAD: he was born in Eltaryd which is a small village in
Agunnaryd, though from a poor family Kamprad at the age of ten sold
matches to his neighbours with his bicycle, he bought matches in bulk
from a wholesale shop at lower prices and sold them individually at
low prices, from matches Kamprad moved to selling fish but now the
swedish business man now earns $31 million per year, thus making him
one of the richest men in the world. Kamprad never allowed the
condition he found himself let him lose focus on what is ahead. Second
on my list is Li ka Shing who lost his father at the age of 12, as the
first son he had the responsibility of providing for his younger
siblings. Shing left school to work in a plastic producing factory
and there he worked 16 hours per day, after much hard and smart work
Shing was moved to say 'THE FUTURE MAY BE MADE UP OF MANY TRIALS BUT
WHERE IT TRULY LIES IS IN THE HEART AND MIND OF MEN'. Li Ka Shing is
now one of the richest men in Hong Kong. Just as Kamprad and Shing
did'nt let their present condition stop them we too should be
determined to imitate them in this aspect.
