What would you do with an insurmountable obstacle? A man from India did what he could with what he had. Van Morris writes,
When a mountain is in your way what do you do? Just ask Ramchandra Das, 53, who lives in Bihar, India. In order to access nearby fields for food and work, Das and his fellow villagers had to take a 4.3-mile trek around a mountain. Fed up with the obstacle, Das did something about it. With just a hammer and chisel, he cut a 33-foot-long, 13-foot-wide tunnel through a narrow area of the mountain. It took Das fourteen years to complete the task.
Would you stay at a task for fourteen years? Das did what he could with what he had. His perseverance has not only benefitted his family, it has benefitted the villagers, as well. This mountain mover sweat, chiseled, and dug for others for almost a decade and half. Will we be diligent for others?
Awesome and encouraging!! Thanks :)
