My LPF

Lately I have been an addict of basketball. Okay, I know that I am going nowhere with that, simply coz I am not that tall. But then the people I am playing with are not that tall either haha... So it doesnt really matter. Anyways, yesterday after the game I attempted a crazy stunt myself. You see on the court there are two 60-cm spaced electric pole. I was tempted to dribble past the two poles. Which I did. It was quite a successful one. I managed to dribble past the poles. Just that my flailing left arm accidentally banged twice against the poles. As a result, my left pinky finger was bent somehow. It was quite painful but I ignored it since I was 'high' on adrenaline. And the above mentioned finger is now on a cast (just a simple piece of wood I used to immobilize the finger).

Anyways, this incident aroused a thought on my brain. You see, pinky finger is the smallest finger. And we have 10 fingers for God's sake. However, that injured finger giving me quite a lot of trouble. One, the pain is there. Two, I can only type using 9 fingers now. Three, the cast is making the finger straight so if I flash a 'three' it looks like I flash a 'four'. So, this is what have been appeared on my brain: Never ever underestimate small things.

It is indeed true that over and over again in the history of the mankind, small things have been used to put heroes to shame. One simple example I can think of. David was a young guy when he was sent to the battlefield. He was there not to fight, he was just a temporary kopikia. Moreover, he was the youngest kiddo in the family of Jesse. But then holy cow, he was the same historical slayer! Another example. Peter was just a uneducated fisherman wasnt he? I have no doubt that he has ever studied on Jerusalem Theological University circa 0. And I myself doubt the existance of the above mentioned uni haha... Anyways, he was often described as idiotes (sounds familiar eh?) according to a Bible scholar I happen to know. However it is the same Peter who preached in front of the Sanhedrin (supposedly they were the top scholars at that time) and made them speechless.

You see, God can use anyone to do great things, no matter how small you think you are. Now, what do you consider as your innate weakness? Overcome it, dream high. Never ever let your weakness becomes an obstacle to your success. Well, as I have said earlier in the post, I am born short haha. I was the shortest in my class when I was still in my hometown. Subconsciously, I lost my confidence then. You see, if you are short, quite a lot of people ridicule you. I am still not that tall. But I have overcome the stupid mindset of 'small = lousy' now, haha... And oh, I am still the shortest guy in most of my classes now.
