A young girl wanted so badly to succeed.
She went to find the king and asked how she could succeed.
The king gave her a glass full of water and told her.
“Take this glass of water and come back after walking through the entire town once.
Then I will tell you.
But if you spill the water, then you will receive a punishment.”
The young girl walked through the entire town, sweating, and came back.
The king asked her.
“What was it like walking through the town?”
“I am not sure. I was concentrating so much on the glass of water, I was unable to see anything else.”
As soon as she said this, the king replied,
“Exactly! That is the key to success.”
There is a saying, give it your all.
Whatever you are doing, put all of your heart, mind, and strength into it.
The problem is that it is not so easy to do.
