PROBLEMS IN LIFE _ A Life Lesson Story On Growth And Success

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 grow up , I want to become a successful man .

Can you tell me some ways to be successful ?

Grandpa nodded in jazz 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 pot and kept it inside the house and plant another plant outside the house .

What do you think ?

Which of these two plants will grow better in future ?

Grandfather was a boy .

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 a few years back , saying this grandfather took by to place where he had planted small plant in a pot .

They saw that the small plant had turned into a big plant .

Then he took by 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 passer by now .

Grandfather looked at while and asked , tell me which plant grew more , which is more successful .

The boy 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 , had 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 remains small and it is weak too because he 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 adults , but think of them as stepping stones to success .

Boy took a long breath and started looking at me .

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 remains 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 risks 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 .
