News : The Road to Success

Life isn’t fair, and it doesn’t have to be! We’re all born with certain abilities, and it is through our decisions and work that we reach an outcome – bad or good. We do not have to achieve the greatest successes in the world to be regarded as successful, nor do we need the media attention for us to consider the fruit of our hard work as a success. Following is a case of success which may go unnoticed for ordinary people but which is a great example of what a person can achieve with patience and hard work.

Jacob was so overweight that doctors kept warning him that he was going to die in his 50s. His obesity stopped him from doing his everyday chores around his home. One day he fell down the stairs and was injured. It took medics four hours to take him to hospital where another doctor also warned him about his weight and his health situation. From then on, Jacob started a diet that would help him lose more than 80 kilogrammes in two years. After he got rid of his weight problem, he took up running and planned to participate in the marathon the next year. And guess what! He was able to finish the run in his first try. Even though he didn’t come first in the race, he was able to prove to himself and everyone around him that things that seem impossible at first can be realized if one puts their mind to it.
