None is useless...

In my opinion, no individual is useless. I believe we’re all but different seeds. And like all seeds, we’re all blessed with the capacity to grow from seed to plant and from plant to fruit. But, the sprouting of every seed to seedling depends not only on rainwater and sunlight, but also on the fertility of the soil on which it is sowed.

However, when a particular soil is so dry and infertile and you cannot move to a better place, you improve the soil condition by watering and adding manure to it, and that’s where individuals outperform each other.

Those who’re avoidably hopeless will certainly want it, but will render every possibility improbable because they look at issues from a fixed point of view. Average people will wish it, but since they tend to hold God responsible for everything, they’ll sit with style and wait for Him to fix it. But I guess they don’t read Quran 13:11, especially the middle line of the verse: “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.”

In 2011, Barack Obama told his lawmakers that “In God We Trust” is their motto, but he said “that’s not putting people back to work”. He also said: “I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work” – and I think he’s right.

So yeah, creative people are alert to God and godliness, but to effectively use their God-given ingenuity, they also draw inspiration from wise people and stories of people of enterprise. Every break in their journey is seen as a lesson or a challenge, because they believe it’s never impossible to change things to what they could’ve been. So they’ll give their all to either succeed greatly or fail greatly and that’s why they accomplish greatly.

Some because they’re seeded too deeply will take time to sprout. Others will grow wrongly because of poor nurturing. Some are like the Cactus, Elephant and Palm Trees, or the beautiful Marigold and Desert Lily and will grow no matter what, because they’re solidly built to adapt to the toughness and extremity of any soil condition.

Laaa! See what usually happens when weekend starts and I am broke. I become SO philosophical, but I guess that’s because many lessons that gave birth to interesting things today were learned that way - the hard way. Have a wonderful Friday!
