It may be an excerpts from John Sutherland's book - A boy who loved books. Its really touching but inspiring. I suggest every parents should suggest this book to there children. A poor boy in the states of America, born and brought up in a poor family, poverty and hungry were the part and parcel of his life. His situation was very plight in the childhood.
But he striven hard to gain the core of life. He loved books intensely and whenever he got a book, he tried to read with eagerness. His longing, love and attachment towards books made him very efficient. But his parents didn't like this habit and forced him to move away from this. But he was very consistent in this effort. He really loved Holy Bible, Pilgrims Progress, Aesop's stories and Shakespeare works.
During his child hood he worked in a local shop for earning. Once he got a book from the shop and he started reading it with great enthusiasm and affinity. The shop owner found this and informed to his father. When his father heard about this he shouted at Abe and gave him nice but hard slap in his mouth. But he pained for a moment but never lose this affinity.
While reading a book first which was left by some one, with greater curiosity, he never thought he will became the 16th President of his great Nation. But it happened. The perseverance, affinity and hard work of Abe - an orphan like boy to a refugee to the people of America.
Possible. Absolutely Nothing is impossible. If you work hard with greater perseverance and enthusiasm. God will support you in all your ways. When you take one step God will equip you to take 5 steps.
Let's remember the words of Bill Gates " Born as poor is not your problem but die as a poor is only your problem".
