Secret
of success
Once
there were two great friends.
The
first friend used to work hard throughout the day but hardly achieved anything.
Whereas,
the other friend worked for four hours, used to help the needy and then
meditate the rest of the time.
When
they met after a long time, they discussed their life styles with each other.
The
first friend asked the other, “Why is it that you get success and money after working
for just four hours and I remain poor even after working the whole day?”
After
hearing his friend’s grievance, the other friend smiled and asked him a question,
“What do you have in mind while you do your work?”
The
first friend replied, “I keep thinking about ways and means of earning more
wealth.”
At
this, the second friend replied, “That is the reason behind your unhappiness
and failure.”
He
explained, “One does not attain success by just working hard. Success is a
state of mind. What is the purpose of working hard when you stay unhappy?
Mental happiness is very important for a successful life.”
He
advised his friend to stay happy and calm under all circumstances. After
hearing his friend’s advice, the first friend started following the same and
soon he too became successful in life.
