Try and Triumph

[F.I.N.I.S.H.E.R 2,397]

 

 

There are no standardized methods to cross the hurdles or solve the problems that life throws at us. But there's a time-honoured magic formula that can cinch our deal with success. To discover the magic formula, continue reading... 

 

When John Roebling, the chief engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, wanted to build the renowned bridge experts worldwide asked him to forget the idea because they considered it impossible. But both Roebling and his son Washington just would not give up their dream!

 

Their project kicked off well. But in a series of tragic accidents John Roebling passed away and Washington was incapacitated. Washington was incapable of walking, talking or even moving. All he could do was move one finger. 

 

Though bed-ridden, Washington remained strong in his dedication to engineer his dream. Gradually, using just one finger, he developed a code of communication with his wife. He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating his intention to call the engineers again. The engineers were called. And then called again and again. For thirteen years. And for that many years Washington tapped out construction instructions with his one finger sitting at his home and his able wife, Emily, carried his instructions to the workers. 

 

In 1883 when the bridge opened to the public, the world stood in awe of its beauty. It was an engineering marvel of its time. It was the world's first steel-wire suspension bridge, and the Roeblings had constructed it. Neither the tragedy that befell John Roebling discourage him or his son from giving up on the project, nor did the adversity that plagued Washington Roebling deter him or his wife from constructing a bridge whih at its time was the world's longest suspension bridge. It was by the dint of extraordinary determination and perseverance shown by the Roeblings that the bridge transformed from a blueprint on paper to the strong, graceful steel structure it is today. 

 

The inspiring story of Roeblings teaches us a magic formula that we can follow in our lives as well. It teaches us that when hurdles keep us from realizing our dreams, we don't always have to do anything extraordinary to solve the problems or cross the hurdles. We just have to persevere a little longer; try a little harder. And his method usually works like a charm. Remember, the difference between try and triumph is just the amount of little 'umph' added to the try.

You know, if you were just doing this to bump the article, if an article isn't at the limelight anymore it isn't typical to bump it just for the publicity. If it's truly a good article, it will have a good time of life and then drift away; no reason to cling.

 

 

I'll just assume that you were gone till now and felt like following up on article comments that were posted while you were gone.  :P
