For instance, Joseph the son of
Jacob turned to a slave then to a prisoner. Until the day of the king’s
confusing dream that only he would interpret. Consequently, He became the prime
minister in a foreign land.
Similarly, Abraham Lincoln encountered
bends in his life. From losing his loved ones, business and election, to
failing exams, but finally won the presidential elections. He turned the bends on
the road to reach success. A failure in his life kept him growing stronger.
Others, who never stopped at the
bend on the road, include: Nelson
Mandela, spent twenty seven years in prison and later became the first African
president in S. Africa. In the same line Martin Luther King Junior, stood up
for the rights of Black Americans costing him his life. However, his dream of
equality of all mankind became true in 2008 when Barrack Obama African American,
became the 44th president of the United States.
Finally, Mahatma Gandhi from poor
backgrounds mobilized people to rise against the oppressive colonial
government. Without money or power he was able to organize strikes all over the
country. Consequently, he became a preeminent leader in India who believed in
unity and nonviolent advocacy.
Truly, no road is straight. All
have bends and only those who make turns earn success in life. It’s said: a
bend is not the end of the road unless you never make a turn. Are you ready to
make a turn?
