Once Upon a time there were dreams .Dreams of greatness.A time when we wanted to be somebody . A time when we wanted to achieve something , to get somewhere. Unfortunately , along the way , millions have forgotten that we are the masters of our own fate and creators of our own destiny .As time passes , many have given up on the idea that big dreams and goals are achievable . Far too many have lost sight of the greatness we posses within .
In 1957， members of a Thailand monastery were put in charge of moving a large clay statue of Buddha to a new location .As the crane lifted the statue , the weight was so great that the stance began to crack .Worse yet , it started to rain .In fear of seriously damaging the statue , they lowered it , placed a tarp over it , and decided to continue the following morning .That night , while one of the monks was inspecting the statue with a flashlight , he noticed a reflection shining from out of a crack that was forming in the clay . Out of curiosity he retrieved a hammer and chisel , and started chipping away . Finally , after much of the clad had been removed , he realized that it was not a clay statue at all , but rather a large , solid-gold Buddha.
Many historians believe that several hundred years earlier , the Thai monks had covered the golden buddha with clay in an effort to disguise it from the Burmese army .A battle ensued and consequently the Thai monks were destroyed , anad it wasnt untill 1957 that the true nature of the Buddha was discovered . Today , the golden buddha rests in a temple in Thailand , open to the public to see.
LIKE THE BUDDHA , WE ALL HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL AND UNTOLD WEALTH WITHIN . YET, DUE TO THE BATTLES OF LIFE , WE TOO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SEE BEYOND OUR OWN LAYERS FO CLAY.
WE ARE ALL CHAMPIONS SINCE WE WERE BORNED . YET , WE BEGAN TO CHANGE OUR CHARACTER TO FIT INTO THE COMUNITY TO MAKE US UNSEEN AND COMMON .
