Spider's Web : Where's that book?

I was in my first semester of business school when I had this experience. I was in my hostel room and was working on my test project.

I tried recreating the situation as per the guidelines by my instructor but couldn't find the right solution for that particular project. I was so puzzled that I felt as if a web net had covered my mind, and despite having the idea of the project, I wasn't able to find the starting point. I felt as if I was missing the starting point.

I had tens of ideas, but nothing worked. I felt I was stuck in a spider web and not finding a way out. question in my head a time and again to understand it correctly, and yet I couldn't find the answer to it. I tried but got tired after a while and kept my registers and papers aside.

I went out to the badminton hall and had a long practice that tired me fully. I postponed the project work for the late night, went to the mess, had my dinner, and came back to my room. I sat on my chair for a while and kept thinking about the project.

But the project was not letting me sit comfortably, so I looked into my books. Now I feel I was so lost in that project that when I found that book, which solved my problem, I found a perfect starting line. I don't know how it happened, but I felt I had come out of that spider net, and I was at complete peace now.

Now I was fully relaxed and had a perfect outline, and there was no problem in my mind. I completed my project, kept everything on the table, and had a nice sleep, thanks to that management book that came to my rescue.

I got up at 5.30 the next morning, finished my daily routine, warmed up in the playground, and went back to badminton hall for my regular practice. I came back to my room at about 8 and checked my project in case something was missing or needed any tweaking. No, everything was fine, and I hoped my instructor would find nothing wrong.

I was so thankful for the book that helped me complete my project, but I suddenly realized that I had never bought that book; at least that was not my book. Where did I get that book from? Was it from the library that solved my problem, and I forgot to return it?

I looked at my table, but there was no such book I used for my project. I tried to find out, but it was not there or anywhere.

I felt like another web in my mind. I remembered well that I got the idea from that management book, but it was nowhere in my room. I asked my friends in the nearby rooms in case one of them came and took it for their project, but nothing happened. No one said any of them came to my room. I wasn't able to solve the mystery of the lost book that morning, so I left for my class.

Later I realized that probably there was no such book in the first place, but it was my brain that was at work and handled the project with the help of an imaginary book, but that was a miracle, which I haven't been able to solve to date.

I guess when I sat on my chair trying to think about the starting line of my project, I fell asleep for a few minutes and found that solution in my dream. However, I found my solution and completed my project.

I think we find some of the best solutions when we feel we won't ever find them, and that's all about our brainpower, which can come out of the strongest spider net with our strong willpower. We should know the wonderful potential of our brain that we all have but aren't aware of.
