Silver Lining to Every Cloud..

"Speak Any Language Instantly! 3-Minute Method! Totally Free!"

Good Morning Friends,

Today morning when I woke up, I could not see the sun. The sky was dark and gloomy as there were intense clouds in the sky. Thick and dark clouds obstructed the sun. The surroundings were darkened. It was not a pleasant sight.   

But then I looked at the clouds carefully and I saw that their edges are tinted with a silvery       glow. This glow convinced me that the sun is somewhere there behind the clouds. As time passed, the clouds moved off and the sun came out of it. 

I suddenly thought of the famous proverb " Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining ". And then began to relate it with some instances which made me believe in this proverb more strongly. This clever metaphor is used in the proverb to denote that sorrows and calamities are only momentary. Wherever there is sorrow, happiness will be somewhere nearby. Whenever there is shadow, light should be nearby. And whenever there is darkness, the bright light is near. The proverb teaches us not to lose hope in the hours of darkness and sorrow. It reminds us to be optimistic and hopeful. It tells us not to lose heart because it might be just when we are about to quit that victory reveals itself. Like the silver tint on the edges of the dark cloud, happiness always lurks behind the darkest hour. If winter comes, can spring be far behind?One has to stay positive at all times and never lose hope at any cost. 

       

A huge black cloud generally blocks the sun light and makes the atmosphere appear dull and dark. But on closer observation, we will find the sun rays trying to peep through the sides of the cloud, creating a fine silver lining all around the edges of the cloud. Similarly in life, we all go through bad phases. But something good always comes out of even a bad situation. That is the silver lining of a rough patch. Here the dark clouds are compared to bad times that we face in life. 

I did not have to dig too far into my memories to relate this with some real life instances. I went back to my school days where I had a classmate Deepak who lost his ability to walk because of an accident. Deepak was a very sad and disappointed young man. Ever since he met with an accident a few months earlier, he was confined to a wheelchair. His knee had been badly damaged and he required a number of surgeries to set it right. The doctors said that he would have to wait for another two months before he could attempt  to walk. He was very low in confidence and often lost his temper. He was angry that he was unable to run and play around like the others. He was not interested in even meeting his friends. He wanted to be left alone. Deepak’s parents were very worried about him.     

One day one of Deepak’s class teachers, Mrs. Paul visited him and gifted him a set of chessboard and coins. She also taught him the basic rules of the game and asked Deepak to play a few games every day. Deepak soon found himself getting totally engrossed in the game and began to win all the games that he played with his neighbours. Realizing that he had some talent, Deepak’s parents decided to get him a coach who spent a few hours everyday teaching him the nuances of the game. 

Deepak forgot all about his health condition and practiced hard everyday. His confidence levels went up as he slowly started winning prizes at all the local tournaments. He was soon his old cheerful self. In six months time Deepak participated in the State Level Championships and secured he second position and was selected to represent his State at the National Championships. It was a proud moment for Deepak who then realized that the accident had indeed been a blessing in disguise for him. For, if he had not been confined to a wheelchair, he would never have tried his hand at chess - thanks to the teacher, Mrs. Paul.

This small little memory of my school days brought a smile on my face as it had a happy ending. A sweet ending to a sad story. And then I could feel little drops of rain on my face which told me that the sun will shine soon and the day would again be bright.

Have a bright sunny day ahead !!
