Crossing a forest

#shortstory

Two friends were found, who had to cross a very dangerous forest full of criminals, which was essential to finally reach their destiny.

They decided then, that the best way to cross the forest was to do it wisely and as quickly as possible. They also decided that each one would go on a different path, and that they would meet at the end of the journey.
So they went on the road.

The first of them crossed the forest quickly as they had planned, while the second one stopped to drink liquor next to some drunkards he had found.
When the next day he woke up determined to continue his way, a group of criminals attacked him in the middle of the woods, stealing all his belongings and beating him all bloody..
When he finally arrived at his destination and met his friend, he asked him about what happened.
Still unconscious of the terrible appearance he had, he told him nothing had happened to him, finally managed to arrive.
His friend said to him, “Don't you realize that you are all dirty and beaten, and that all your belongings were stolen from you.?
Only when he heard this, his friend became aware of the tragedy that had happened to him because of the negligent way he acted.

We can reflect on this little story that I share with you, because the world is like a dangerous forest that everyone must try to cross.

There are those who are smart and plan a strategy and carry it to the letter, and there are those who let themselves be distracted by all sorts of things that divert them from their true purpose, losing what they have achieved with so much effort.

We must be organized to plan our strategies well so that the foolish friend does not happen to us who forgot his purpose received a punishment that he himself forged.
Let's take full advantage of opportunities and be cunning and keep control and organization of what we want to achieve.
