In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid
himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.
Some of the
kirig's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around
it.
Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none
did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came
along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the
road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.
After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the
road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a
note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed
the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never
understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
Cheers!
