The small boy went out with a sling to fight with the giant. He killed the giant with a slingshot. Thus, as long as you have the
will power and confidence, you can achieve anything regardless of the size of the difficulty.
The moral of the story is that everyone has a different perception to a huge task. Lazy and timid persons just give up on
the task thinking it to be too difficult to achieve. However, the wise and the brave try to explore all possible avenues to
achieve it.
Example #2
Once, a dying tuberculosis (TB) patient went to a doctor for treatment. On the same day, a very healthy person also
came for treatment.
The doctor took X-rays of both the men. He deliberately showed the X-ray result of the healthy person to the TB patient
while the healthy person was given the X-ray result of the TB patient.
After seeing the X-ray result, the TB patient suddenly realized that his health was indeed very good and he was
deteriorating it all by himself. He lamented as he always ignored such a healthy body because of his fear of dying soon. The
fear of death kept him away from exercise and good food for long. Without losing anytime, he started doing exercise and
taking good food. He became a completely healthy person after three months.
On the other side, the healthy person got sad and cried, thinking that his good-looking body was diseased. He thought that
he might die soon. He stopped taking good food and doing exercise thinking that he was ill.
Thus, as long one has a will power and positive attitude, one can win over tough situations. There are a number of
benefits that you can accrue by maintaining a positive attitude. As long as you have a good attitude, the door of success
is opened for you. It is beneficial to both you and others.
Example #3
Thomas Edison, the greatest inventor in the history of mankind, failed around 10,000 times in his struggle to invent a light
bulb. You will be surprised to know that this great man had a formal schooling of about only 3 months in his life.
And, you will be even more surprised to know that he was a partially deaf 4 year old boy who returned one day from
school with a note from his teacher. The note read, "Your Tommy is too stupid to learn, take him out from school". His
mother taught him at home since then.
Thus, the success story of every great man is full of disappointments, failures, setbacks, and betrayal. Facing them with
a smile as a great warrior will bring you success eventually. No struggle, no success.
