WEEK IN BRIEF-02-07 August, 2010

Quote for the Week:




“The oyster turns into pearl the sand which annoys it.”- Sidney Newton Bremer

The process by which an oyster makes pearl is very interesting and peculiar in nature. When a sand particle enters into its shell it causes great irritation to the oyster. It cannot get rid of this particle in any possible way. So the only option is to bear with it. Now how does the oyster do that? By slowly coating this sand particle with smooth layers of a secretion called mother of pearl. Thus the tiny grain of sand finally becomes a beautiful and precious pearl. The quote points out that we can turn every obstacle, every roadblock that we encounter in our life into something meaningful. For this we have to accept reality and face it with all the courage that we have.
