A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls with a huge
noise; Destruction has noise, but creation is silent. In your success, remain
silent as there is power in silence. Grow Silently! Cultivate Silence!
A farmer discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn.
It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. After
searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted
the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. He promised them that
the person who found it would be rewarded.
Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went
through and around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just
when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went
up to him and asked to be given another chance.
The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why not? After all,
this kid looks sincere enough.” So the farmer sent the little boy back in the
barn.
After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his
hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he
succeeded where the rest had failed.
The boy replied, “I did nothing but sat on the ground and
listened. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for
it in that direction.”
"A peaceful mind can think well than a worked up
mind"(David. O.Oyedepo)
Sometimes the noise in our life is so much with no clarity
on what to do. The mind seems so occupied with lots of thoughts that promote
fear, discouragement and anxiety.
Let peace guard your heart in this year of from Glory to
Glory.
