Restoration 10:10

"Some people counted me out and said to drop out, but the American people don't quit and they deserve a president who doesn't quit either," said Hillary Clinton to her cheering and chanting supporters in Philadelphia. It was an unlikely win against her political opponent Barack Obama. He had out spent her in advertising by more than 2-1. But Hillary didn’t stop campaigning and as a result she came through a winner. You might not agree with Hillary’s politics but you can admire her tenacity.  Perfect role models are not faultless people. But they are people who will hang on in there until they finish their job. We all have tasks in life. And like Hillary some of us may have been told to give up on what we want to do and pursue another course. But that’s not advisable. Hillary might not become president. She might not be selected for the Democratic nominee to face the Republicans. But she ain’t going to quit until her efforts are completed. Just because someone counts you out doesn’t mean that you’re knocked out. So get up off the floor, stop complaining and go fulfil the little purpose you have in life.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. (PRINCE HARRY)

Prince Harry was photographed outside an airport terminal puffing on a cigarette after he made out himself to be a non smoker. Apparently he started smoking at 14 and now at 23 like so many other none smokers he may be struggling to kick the habit. I tried and failed to quit smoking after starting at the age of 13. Luckily I was able to pack it in by the time I was twenty five. But ain’t it hard to give some things the boot? I’ve put on weight, still bite my nails and three months into 2008 I’ve broken nearly all of my new year’s resolutions. Old bad habits are hard to shake off. But that doesn’t necessarily make us hypocrites. It simply shows our frail human disposition. On the other hand, just because we are weak in one thing doesn’t make us weaklings. Prince Harry seemed to have the courage to face the enemy in Afghanistan. Yet ironically the whole of the Middle-eastern situation shows our human incompetence.
