Achievement. Faith is the essence of things hoped for. It is a persistent embrace of our highest aspirations and yearnings, a humble trust that they can be or can become reality. Faith makes us tenacious. It gives us the strength to carry forward with the expectation that our efforts will bear fruit. It is the distant light that shines when all around us seems dark and full of sorrow. Through faith, we keep our eye on our destination rather than on the hardships along the road. Faith give substance to our dreams and our deepest hunches about what is Real and what is Good. Faith is the very sum and substance of life. Without faith, human beings cannot achieve anything. If we observe all the greatest Endeavours carried out in this world, we find that behind them faith was the sole-driving force, without which everything is impossible. A person can set a goal for himself, only if he has faith that ultimately he will achieve the goal. Thus, faith forms the foundation of every new achievement, every new invention and every new discovery and every new victory. There is a co-relation between faith and achievement. Faith is the foundation stone of any project that is undertaken with a will to complete. It is the driving force which enlightens the candle of hope by giving strength to fight against all odds. A person having faith may face failures in his or her life, but he does not lose his heart in despair. He knows that the obstacles that are coming in his way are only temporary and
he will ultimately be successful in achieving
his goal. Faith can be found in many facets of many ways. It was only because of faith, that during the freedom struggle, a whole lot of Filipino fighters struggled till the last drop of their blood that freed Philippines from the cahin of Spanish colonialism. Faith prompted the great Alexander to march along with his troops to conquer the whole world. Such was his spirit that he never lost faith in is abilities and lived the life of a great warrior till his last breath. Great discoveries and inventions in Science and Technology have taken place only because of the virtue called faith. It was faith that motivated Edison to keep trying for thousand times before he discovered lamp without which further inventions and discoveries in Science seemed impossible. Faith in humanity and brotherhood empowered Mother Teresa and her innumerable followers to serve the ill, poor and the underprivileged. It was only because of her faith in welfare of humanity that she set an example in the whole world. Faith is the main thrust that made us human different from everything else. We have the will not just to survive but to thrive in whatever settings we are put against. Because with a beacon of feiry heart (faith) even in our the darkest hours, God will always provide us a ray of light (hope) to guide us find the path out of the shade of evil and suffering.
