life

by Blair
I have been in my school for quite enough time to know my way around and I can still remember the first day I entered the school library. I can equally recall vividly how I fled with the speed of light when I first saw the flight of staircase,can still remember even the day I decided to climb the staircase for the first time wishing for a stair-lift, I still remember how so badly I hated the building, the hate so much that I never left the library without cursing whoever built it for making me burn more calories than I needed, complaining at how heartless whoever gave them that design must be for making it so difficult to get to the reading halls.

However, I still remember the first time I noticed that in as much as it takes me more minutes than I wished to get to the reading halls, the knowledge therein was worth more than the misery involved in taking those stairs.

Now, I try not to think of the staircase anymore rather I try thinking more of the FREE BOOKS AND INTERNET.

Currently, I take those steps with all pleasure, and I don't grumble anymore knowing it really is worth the sweat.

This scenario is mainly prevalent amongst us. The stairs signifying the different challenges we all must come to terms with and while whereas many of us act like the old me, they easily get scared at the sight of the stairs and like me end up cursing, forgetting what is after the stairs, while some behave like the latter me and take the stairs and end up getting to the halls.

Challenges are innate and can never be dispensed with, coming in different forms, shapes and sizes so also are the innate abilities to overcome them, that if one can only hold on to a reason and take those ''stairs'' thinking less of the stress involved; then, attaining what we want is really feasible.

Life is that simple it only takes accepting the challenges wholeheartedly and above all attacking them head on.

He stood with painful tears looking into nothing; he wasn't in the least embarrased...
