A story that opened my mind.

I guess it's one month back when I started reading the book called "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari." It was awesome; if you still need to read it, I highly recommend it.

The Author has given a beautiful story in the book, which had a significant impact on me; it goes like this (I was adding my content also to make it more understandable)

There was a young Boy who was curious to know about the secrets of the universe and wanted to gain knowledge, so he started searching for a knowledgeable person.

The young boy finds a monk who is sitting under the tree.

The young boy asked the monk, " I want to be as knowledgeable as you are; how long would it take me to like you? "

The monk said five years without even thinking.

Then the young boy asked again, " I'll work twice as much as possible. How much time would it take now? "

The Monk said ten years.

Then the young boy was shocked and got a weird feeling, and finally said, " I'll work day and night. I'll work all the time when I wake up. How much time would it take? "

Then the Monk said fifteen years.

This time, the young boy was frustrated and angry with the monk. Why are you increasing the number of years, even though I'll work twice as many days and spend the night and day here?

The monk smiled and said, If one eye focuses on the final destination, there is only one left to show you the path.

After reading this line, " If one eye focuses on the final destination, there is only one left to show you the path. ", I was silent for five minutes, and it opened my eyes.

Everyone focuses on the output: I need this car, I need $1M by the age of 24, etc. We always focus on the output, which is the destination, which is not in our control.

Always try to focus on the things we can control, which is in the present moment ( by keeping our two eyes here ).

I hope you have learned something from this story.
