Email from National Center Word of the Week: Difficulty Word of the Week: Difficulty. “Of course your life is valuable. It is invaluable. It was not obtained without intense suffering. The journey of the sperm to the egg is beset with difficulty. It is a tortuous journey. While sperm are killed, many just give up and die. Their tragic end, lying dead in the middle passage, serves as a lesson to us that we cannot even come into existence without overcoming difficulty, since each and every one of us represents the resolve of a tiny sperm who overcame difficulty." ~The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan ~Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development, Study Guide 3: Overcoming Difficulty National Center | 7351 South Stony Island Ave. | Chicago, IL 60649 US Unsubscribe | Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice
