There was this lonely sojourner, who never for once believed that giving up was an option. He moved from place to place, trying to find the best place he would develop himself. For years he walked and walked without any destination in mind.
One certain day, as he came by another village, he met an old but shabby looking man who said to him "son what is it all about, I have seen you pass through this village for the second time in three years" he was surprised. This lone man thought he was coming to this village for the first time. The old man saw the impression on his face and asked once more "what is it that you seek?" Now the old man has come to the point he thought. "Am an ambitious man, am looking for the best place where I can succeed." He old man chuckled and said "best place for success? Son success stories never had wonderful beginnings. Go back home and start from there." That was not the answer this lone man wanted but it was the first time in ten years he asked himself "since I began this journey, what have achieved and what effort have I given to success other than complaining that I havent found that wonderful place." He bowed his head and went back home. On reaching home he saw before his door an opportunity to succeed in life. He realised that the opportunity had been there long before he left, just that he was blind to see it. BY HIS HOUSE LAY A GARDEN OF WILD ROSE, A VINE YARD, AN ORCHARD AND A VAST MEASURE OF LAND. See the opportunities before you, success must begin from toiling. It is never easy.
