SHINING AMONG MEN

 

A LITTLE STORY ABOUT STANDING OUT.


As a human being who has gone through and is going through language education, especially English Language, I've always noticed an admiration in me towards the way the 'small letter a' is written in books; it's usually different from the way we were taught to write it.


Much later in the journey of growth, I'm talking about university level education, I decided to change the way I was taught to write the 'small letter a' - from what my teachers taught me to what I see in printed books. 

I started with a plain sheet of paper, practicing the new 'a'. Over and over again I wrote and rewrote that single letter till it felt natural. I then proceeded to put it into words; then into sentences. For days, I paid conscious attention to this new thing manifesting in me till became as if I was born with it. And so today, among the writings of men with pen, my 'lowercase a' is everly different. It stands out. 

Daniel got to Babylon and decided to first train his appetite. This was the beginning of him shining among men.

HAVE YOU BEGAN SHINING AMONG MEN?
