There once was a young woman named Amara, who lived in a small but noisy town. Every morning, she woke up to the same broken clock hanging on her wall,a clock that stopped ticking at 6:45.

Yet, oddly enough, every day, she would still glance at it before leaving for work. Her friends often mocked her.

“Why keep a broken clock?” they’d ask.

Amara would just smile and say, “Because even a broken clock is right twice a day.”

She didn’t mean it as a joke,she meant it as a reminder.

That clock reminded her that even when she felt stuck, life could still align in her favor, even if just for a moment.

Amara worked as a waitress at a local café. Life wasn’t kind,she had dreams of becoming a writer but never enough time or money to chase them.

One day, while serving a customer, she spilled coffee all over his white shirt. Mortified, she apologized repeatedly.

The man just laughed, “It’s fine, I’ve had worse days.”

They started talking. Turns out, he was a book editor visiting the town for a weekend retreat. Impressed by her way with words, he asked if she ever wrote.

Amara hesitated but nodded. “Just small things… nothing serious.”

He smiled and said, “Send me one.”

That night, she sat beside her broken clock, staring at 6:45,the same time it had stopped months ago, and finally decided to send one of her short stories.

Weeks later, she got an email.

Her story got published.

It didn’t make her rich overnight, but it opened doors. More importantly, it made her believe again.

Years later, when she became a successful author, she kept that same broken clock on her desk. Not for decoration, but as a symbol,that timing in life isn’t always about clocks, it’s about faith, effort, and patience
