An Obstacle In Your Path

In ancient times, a King had a boulder (a large rock, typically one that has been worn smooth by erosion) placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.

Some of the King'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 (a poor farmer of low social status who owns or rents a small piece of land for cultivation) came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the huge rock, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much effort 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. He picked up the purse and saw that 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.

Moral: Every obstacle presents an oppertunity to improve one's condition.

Now a days, people are seen complaining about the issues, but nobody solves or tries to solve those issues except very very few. If everybody sincerely play his/her role in solving those issues, the problems will probably reduced if not come to an end at all.
