The easiest way to succeed !

in #success7 years ago (edited)

We often wonder as to what is the shortest and quickest route to success. To build something purposeful, be it career or anything in life or life itself, it takes diligent planning and effort. There is an interesting fable I read somewhere, long time ago.

There was a poor, ambitious cowherd who milked a pitcher full of milk out of his fragile cow- the only one he had. He sold the pitcher full of milk to the local demand and made little money. He then used the money to buy fodder for his cow and increased the cow’s yield. With the money made out of selling more milk, he bought more fodder and extracted more milk.

He continued the process and earned enough money to buy another cow. He then multiplied two cows into four. Four became eight and eight, sixteen. Now, he had enough money and milk to start a sweet shop. He setup a nice shop in a prominent place within his village. He made a lot of money selling sweets. He multiplied his business and within no time had several branches running successfully.

He then built a huge, dream house with beautiful murals and artistry that no villager had ever thought of, drawing the ire of jealous eyes. People were queuing up to give their daughters in marriage to him. But, his eyes was set upon the most beautiful woman in his surroundings.

She was a dusky beauty, a fire like woman who ignited fantasy in every man. Our man was no exception. With his new found status, he knew she was at arm’s length. He approached her father and commanded him to give his daughter in marriage to him. The old man politely refused as she was already engaged. The enraged cowherd, now a rich, proud man kicked the old man out of searing anger.

Lo! The pitcher fell, splashing milk in all directions. He woke up aghast, realizing he had placed the pitcher within

So, in order to succeed there is no quick-fix solution. However, there is an easier way, in fact, the easiest way. What is it?

If we want mangoes we should bother about the soil, water, sunlight and manure. If we focus on seeding the mango seed in the right spot- where the soil is suitable and sunlight is abundant, manuring with the right compost, and watering sufficiently- day in and day out, mangoes will drop on our head, eventually. This is the easiest way!

Very nice post. Yes, there is no shortcut to success. We have to work hard, and do the right thing. Then success will come.

Thanks a lot! Working with lot of love and passion to the point where we even forget about success would ensure undeniable success :)

You are welcome!
To be able to work with a lot of love and passion - that in itself is success. :-)
