PUBLIC TENDER

Know that Einstein himself, during his adolescence, even wrote to his father that he would not want to be born. In the Bible, Job went on to say: "Why did not I die before birth? (Job 3:11). Despite these lamentations, human birth is so marvelous as passing an public tender: a exam of 14 hours, where only one out of 400 million candidates is approved! Birth is a miracle!
 
A lady was very poor and sick, had several unsuccessful child-birth, abortions and many children who died shortly after birth. Still, she and her husband, a handyman, got to create seven children. Among them, a girl named Antonia, the eldest daughter, who, since childhood, worked hard: planted in the plantations, selling vegetables, caring for younger brothers, doing laundry for people and was teaching to his colleagues. At 14, she worked in a sugar cane field in Minas Gerais. At 17, was maid in Belo Horizonte, and no place to sleep for eight months spent nights in a bus stop. During that time, was picking blurred leaves a waste originating in a mimeograph where did handouts of a preparatory course. She studied them at night in low light and through the traffic of people up and down the bus. She had a contest and went to third official of the Court of that state. His mother knew when he said: "But the proof was that hard?"
Antonia mentioned the great competition and said many people had stayed behind, but the mother answered: "Have you seen any good runner look at who is behind" It was with this philosophy of life that her daughter continued to study, studied Law and did other contests. Today, Dr. Antonia Marina Faleiros is certainly a winner! Currently she is a judge of the 1st Criminal Court of Itabuna, Bahia.
 
Your birth is like a public tender: 1 seat for 400 million candidates! In it, you already passed! Your persistence intrauterine made you come first that another 400 million sperm! So if you did not give up your dreams while being tiny, why you want to quit now after great?
