There are no standardized methods to solve life\u2019s problems, but the<\/p>\n<p>moment we choose to try persistently, we clinch our deal with success.<\/p>\n<p>When John Roebling, Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, wanted to<\/p>\n<p>build the bridge, experts world over asked him to forget the idea because they<\/p>\n<p>considered it impossible. But both Roebling and his son, Washington, just<\/p>\n<p>wouldn\u2019t give in.<\/p>\n<p>The project started well. But in a series of tragic accidents, Roebling<\/p>\n<p>passed away and his son was incapacitated. Washington was not able to walk,<\/p>\n<p>talk or even move. All he could do was to move one of his fingers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Gradually, using that finger, he developed a code of communication with<\/p>\n<p>his wife. He touched his wife\u2019s arm with that finger, indicating his intention to<\/p>\n<p>call the engineers again. He used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the<\/p>\n<p>engineers what to do. For 13 years, he tapped out his instructions with his one<\/p>\n<p>finger, directing operations at the site, until the bridge was finally built up.<\/p>\n<p>Washington\u2019s disabilities did not deter him from following his dream.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why the bridge stands today is that in the face of adversity, he did not<\/p>\n<p>give up trying. His life teaches us that when we face a problem, or are not able to<\/p>\n<p>realize our dreams or achieve what we want, we don\u2019t always have to do anything<\/p>\n<p>extraordinary\u2026we just have to try harder !
