In this world, each person has some weakness or the other. For instance, someone cannot run very fast while another cannot lift heavy weights. While one is afflicted with a malignant disease, another is unable to recall the things he has learnt. There are many such examples. Do you know a person who has everything? That single weakness of ours is considered the epicenter of our lives. This gives birth to sadness and discontentment in the heart. Weakness is either a congenital defect or is bestowed by fate but the same weakness by the nous of a person is assumed to be the bounds not to be overstepped. But there are some people who through their righteousness and hard work defeat their weakness. What is the difference between such people and others? Have you ever thought about it? There is a very simple answer to it. A person who does not let his weakness defeat him and houses righteousness in his heart is able to move past his weakness.

When I was a kid, I always complained that I wasn’t intelligent. It took me two hours to understand a concept taught in class while others could do it in half an hour or so. I thought it was unfair. It stopped me from being all that I could be. I felt, no matter how much I study there will be people who will have an edge over me because they had more time. Once I was talking to one of my teachers, I told him the same thing and what he said that day, changed my perspective forever. He said-“There are two types of successful people in this world, ones who become successful because of their intelligence and others who become successful because of their hard work.” That’s when I realized the bound was not real, it was just my imagination. Even if I assume that I am not intelligent, I cannot deny the fact that I am hard working and I have a strong will power. I neglected these gifts from God all along. Since that day I have never looked back.
In other words, God may give one weakness but bounds, bounds are determined only by the nous of a person.
