Topic: A story OF persaverance

[2-HectiC]

In the early nineteenth century, a young man in London aspired to be a writer. But everything seemed to be against him. He had never been able to attend school more than four years. His father had been thrown in jail because he couldn't pay his debts, and this young man often knew the pangs of hunger. Finally he got a job pasting labels on bottles in a rat-infested warehouse, and he slept at night in a dismal attic with two other boys-guttersnipes from the slums of London. He had so little confidence in his ability to write that he sneaked out and mailed his manuscript in the dead of night so nobody would laugh at him. Story after story was refused. Finally the great day came when one was accepted. True, he wasn't paid for it, but one editor had given him recognition. He was so thrilled that he wandered aimlessly around the streets with tears rolling down his cheeks.

   The praise, the recognition that he received through getting one story in print changed his whole life. If it hadn't been for that encouragement, he might have spent his entire life working in rat-infested factories. You may of heard of that boy. His name was Charles Dickens.

[Rouba]

Dear friend...
I think that people know ( Oliver Twist) more than Charles Dickens....
Oliver Twist, as you know, is a story written by Dickens inwhich he reveals part of himself and his childhood....

The theme is great...
Encouragement and self-esteem might lead the person to reach what he wants...otherwise, depression and under-estimation might drag the person to failure....

It is important to believe in yourself and your talents and put in mind that Allah is the one who gave us these uncountable endowments...and that you're so weak without Him.

El-Hamdulillah.
