A short inspirational story I want to share with you,

Maybe there are some of you that know the story of the king and the stone, and some of you might see a wise lesson in this story. It's not written by me actually ( double sorry) BUT I think and believe that it's not bad to share this valuable lesson.

It's a well-known story, but I don't know if everybody is already familiar with this motivational story. But in my opinion, this story is pretty interesting


The king and the stone 


There was once a wise king And wanted to teach his nation a lesson, He said the good things of life are to people who take matters into their own hand. So one night while everybody was sleeping, he placed a large stone on the road that led past his palace. Then he hid behind a hedge and waited to see what would happen. First, a farmer came over with his wagon heavily loaded filled with grain which he was taking to the mill to be ground. “Well, whoever saw such carelessness?” he said crossly, as he turned his team and drove around the stone. “Why don’t these lazy people have that rock taken from the road?” And so he went on complaining of the uselessness of others, but not touching the stone himself.

Soon afterwards, a young soldier came singing along the road. The long plume of his cap waved in the breeze, and a bright sword hung at his side. He was thinking of the wonderful bravery he would show in the war. The soldier did not see the stone, but struck his foot against it and went sprawling in the dust. He rose to his feet, shook the dust from his clothes, picked up his sword, and stormed angrily about the lazy people who had no more sense than to leave such a huge rock in the road. Then he, too, walked away, not once thinking that he might move it himself.
