Default Don't give up, just keep driving

One day a young lady was driving along with her father. They came upon a storm and the young lady asked her father, "What should I do?"

Father said, "Keep driving." Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was getting worse.

"What should I do?" The young lady asked?

"Keep driving," her father replied.

On up a few feet, she noticed that eighteen wheelers were also pulling over. She told her father, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is terrible and everyone is pulling over!"

Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"

Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was again on dry land and the sun came out.

Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out."

Young Lady said, "But why now?"

Father said, "When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are still in the storm, because you never gave up your storm is now over."

This is a testimony for anyone who is going through "hard times." Just because everyone else, even the strongest, gives up. You don't have to ... if you keep going, soon your storm will be over and the Sun will shine upon your face again.

Imam Ali (as): "The endure does not miss success although it may take a long time."

Although I like the story, but it is depicting just one side of the coin.

I have read in a book long ago that If you're using although in sentence start then after comma BUT should not be written. I mean the correct sentence is "Although I like the story, it is depicting just one side of the coin".
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, you're right! It's the result of overlooking the form while paying attention to content. My processor got confused in 'though' and 'although': Either there should be 'though' as the first word in the subject sentence or 'but' should not be there. Thanks for the correction fellow. Regards

Driving before, during and after a storm (or cyclone) can be extremely hazardous. The chance of having a vehicle crash whilst driving in a storm is millions of times greater than the chance of being struck by lightening.

Each second you continue driving as a storm sweeps towards you, the chance of being involved in a crash increases dramatically.

Think about it, your mirrors are filled with ominous black clouds and lightening, the wind howls across the road.

I hate anecdotes like this that have no basis in reality. It's just wishfulness. And then people say, " but it's fiction, don't take it too seriously".

You explained the other side of the coin which is more realistic. We learned from both sides. First, never give up. Second, Don't drive in storm, instead park to a safe place and wait until the storm is over

How can you come about the solution without facing the problem? Just think about it.
Storms are the realities and confronting realities doesn't mean leading to fictions, historic heroes are somehow like humans,, and I suppose more realists of their time.

This story is really an awe inspiring. bundle of thanks for sharing it.
