Have Faith

A story i've heard before: ~

When I went to the village that time for the business trip and visited one
of my colleague's home, it was a hot day in southwest of China, and I was very
thirsty and he said he will get the water for me.

I went together with
him into the yard at the back of his house and I found the pump.

There is one old man there and he said “Hi Young Man,
thirsty? Let me get water for you”

But I told him “Never mind Uncle, let
me do it…”

I moved the handle up and down, up and down. 3 times
There wasn’t a drop water come out.
In my mind I was talking to myself
“… May be I just ‘TRY’…? I didn’t do my best… let me do my best now…”

This time, I moved handle up and down even harder, faster, double the
speed of the first time about 15 times. And again there wasn’t water come out.
My sweat grand start to activate and I start to perspire.

I stopped and
talked to the uncle “I think there is no …” I haven’t finished my sentence and
he replied. “Hey!! Young man, don’t stop!!! The water will go down again if you
stop the pressure now, continue.”

I did continue, harder than before,
real fast. While I’m pumping, he said “The water during this time of the year is
very deep, and that good, because the deeper the water, the cleaner the it get,
the better it taste”

I listened to him and counted number of times I’m
pumping up and down, for 30-40 times, and you could see I perspired all over my
body. I turned to him “Uncle, I think there is no water in there…”

The
moment I finished my sentence… the first drop of water came out.

“Wow,
my hard work pay off” I told myself.

“See, young man, I told you. There
is water in there, it was deep. Taste the water, it taste real good” the uncle
said.

He continued “Ok, from now you just pump normal, no need to move
the handle as fast as before, just keep constant normal pressure and the water
will just continue, help me get the bucket over there now”
