once they lived a boy in a town
one day he came to visit his grandfather
during his summer holidays
he used to play with his grandpa all the
time
one day he said to his grandpa
Grandpa when I grew up I want to become
a successful man
can you tell me some ways to be
successful
Grandpa noted in yes and took by with
him to a nearby nursery
from Nursery his Grandpa bought two
small plants and came back home
then he planted one plant in a boat and
kept it inside the house
and planted other plant outside the
house
what do you think which of these two
plants will grow better in future
grandfather was the boy
kept thinking for some time and then
said
plant inside the house will grow better
because it is safe from every danger
while plant outside is at risk of many
things like strong sunlight storm rain
and animals
grandfather smiled and said let us see
what happens in future
after that the boy left from there
after four years boy came to visit his
grandfather again
when boy saw his grandfather
he asked him Grandpa last time I asked
you a question how to be successful in
life
but you did not tell me anything
but this time you have to tell me
grandfather smiled and said sure
but first let us take a look at plants
that we bought few years back
saying this grandfather took boy to
place where he had planted small plant
in a boat
they saw that the small plant had turned
into a big plant
then he took boy to look at the plant
which they had planted outside
they saw that a big tree had grown out
of a small plant
its branches spread far and wide
providing shade to passerby
now grandfather looked at boy and asked
tell me which plant grew more which is
more successful
why replied the one we planted outside
but Grandpa how is this possible that
plant must have faced so many dangers
still it grew so big
grandfather smiled and said
yes plant outside had to face many
things
but dealing with problems had its
benefits too
plant outside add freedom to spread its
roots as much as it wanted
problems like storm and heavy rain made
its roots even stronger
today it is so strong that a small storm
cannot cause any harm to it
while the plant we planted inside remain
small and it is weak too
because it did not withstand the heavy
storms rain and strong sunlight
then grandfather looked at his grandson
and said my son always remember that
unless you struggle in life unless you
go through difficulties you too will not
be able to achieve success in your life
if you will make comfortable choices
then you will not be able to grow as you
can
and if you are ready to struggle and go
through difficulties then no goal is
impossible for you to achieve
therefore never think of problems as
hurdles
but think of them as stepping stones
towards success
boy took a long breath and started
looking at tree
the words of his grandfather were
echoing in his mind
obstacles which we consider as enemies
in our life
the same obstacles makes us stronger and
more successful in our life
if we see in our lives then we will find
that often in our lives we have to face
challenges and difficulties
due to which many times we get
disappointed and lose the courage to
move forward
but the story of two plants teaches us
not to be intimidated by challenges but
to embrace them as an opportunity to
learn and grow
like a plant that was planted outside
had to face natural calamities
but with this it also had the freedom to
spread its roots and grow stronger
and thus it transformed into a strong
and giant tree
but the plant that was planted inside
was saved from natural calamities
but it remained small and weak from this
we get to learn that the more
difficulties and challenges we face in
our life
the more the path of success will open
for us
it teaches us that we should not be
afraid to take risk and step outside our
comfort zones
when we Face challenges we have the
opportunity to learn and grow stronger
we can also develop the resilience and
determination that are essential to
success
of course overcoming all challenges is
not easy there will be times when we
feel defeated or discouraged
but it is important to remember that
these are only temporary setbacks if we
learn from them and keep moving forward
we will eventually overcome any
challenges that comes our way
so the next time you face a challenge or
face difficult time in your life don't
give up take advantage of the
opportunity to learn and grow
and always remember that the challenges
you face today
can make you stronger and more
successful tomorrow
