a Life Lesson Of Success !
An eight-year-old lad visited his grandfather in the village during summer break. Overflowing with happiness, he bounced towards his grandfather, exclaiming proudly, "When I grow up, I want to be a successful farmer. Can you share some tips for success?"
The grandfather silently nodded, gesturing for the boy to follow him. They headed to a nearby nursery where the grandfather purchased two small saplings. Returning home, he planted one outside and the other in a pot indoors. Turning to the boy, he asked, "Which of these two plants do you think will thrive in the future?"
After pondering for a moment, the boy responded, "The plant inside the house will likely be more successful because it is protected from dangers like strong sunlight, storms, water, and animals, unlike the one outside." Grandfather simply said, "Let's see what unfolds," and immersed himself in reading the newspaper.
Days passed, marking the end of the holidays, and the boy returned to the city. However, the grandfather continued nurturing both plants with equal care. Several years later, when the boy revisited the village with his parents, he approached his grandfather with a determined expression. "Grandfather, last time I asked for success tips, but you didn't say anything. This time, you must share some wisdom."
Grandfather smiled and led the boy to the potted plant. It had flourished into a beautiful tree. The boy exclaimed, "Look, Grandfather, I was right. This plant inside is more successful." The grandfather chuckled, saying, "First, observe the condition of the plant outside," as he guided the boy outdoors.
A majestic tree stood proudly, its branches stretching wide, offering shade to passers-by engaged in relaxed conversations. Grandfather inquired, "Now, which plant was more successful?" The boy hesitated but admitted, "...the one outside! But how is that possible? It must have faced numerous dangers outside."
Grandfather, with a serene smile, explained, "Yes, facing challenges comes with its rewards. The tree outside had the freedom to spread its roots and touch the sky. Son, remember this lesson - if you choose safety throughout your life, you'll never grow to your full potential. Embrace the challenges, and success will be within your reach."
The boy took a deep breath, gazing at the towering tree. He comprehended his grandfather's wisdom - a profound lesson in achieving success.
Friends, our existence is meant for meaningful living. Unfortunately, many live in fear and never unlock their true potential. Abandon this futile fear. Life's true joy lies in doing everything you can. Don't fall into the trap of playing it safe all the time. Take risks, face challenges, and let your life grow as vast as that monumental tree!
THE END!
