A young lady was driving a family car home with her father when they were caught in a heavy storm. The young lady was a little afraid and asked her father, "What should I do, stop or keep driving?" Her father said, "Keep driving."
After driving a few kilometres, the storm was becoming heavier and heavier. The young lady noticed that some cars and big transport trucks were pulling over (靠边停) to the side of the road. The young lady asked her father again if they should stop. But her father said nothing. So, she had to keep on driving.
Ten minutes later, the storm started to become small and she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of kilometres, she drove out of the storm. Moreover, the sun came out and the road ahead was dry. Her father told her to stop and get out of the car.
"But why now, Father?" she asked in surprise.
Her father said, "When you get out, you can look back at all the people in cars and big trucks that gave up. They are still in the storm. Now, your storm is over because you didn't give up. "
Don't give up, even if the stronger do. If you keep going, soon your "personal storms" will be over. The sun will shine on you again and the road ahead will be dry and clear.
