1 picture 1 Story Week #50
Greetings to all the members of Steem for Pakistan Community . Today I am participating in the contest 1 picture 1 Story Week #50 , organised by Respected @suboohi Mam.
A young boy, around 24-25 years old, visited an old teacher, looking worried and sad. "Sir, I'm very poor, the eldest in my house, and jobless. I've tried but can't find good work. I want to give my parents a peaceful and prosperous life, with lots of money and a big house, bringing happiness and ease to their lives." He desired to become rich overnight.
The old teacher listened carefully and then motioned the boy to follow him. "I'll give you something to fulfill your wishes and dreams easily." They walked through the forest to a pile of stones. The old teacher said, "One stone among these can turn iron into gold if applied. Find it, and you'll become rich overnight." The boy was thrilled but asked how to identify the stone. The old teacher replied, "It will feel hotter than the others when touched."
The boy started his search, checking each stone and throwing it into the river to avoid repetition. He worked tirelessly for hours, days, and weeks, but didn't find the stone. Despite his frustration, he continued, believing in the old teacher's words. One day, while picking up stones out of habit, he felt a slightly hot stone but threw it into the river due to his reckless habit. He soon realized his mistake and regretted it.
The old teacher appeared beside him, "You've lost the greatest opportunity of your life due to your habits. You've taken your life for granted, and now you'll have to face the consequences." The boy wept and begged for forgiveness. The old teacher said, "You've learned from your mistake, now you must find a new path to success."
The story teaches us to value every moment, minute, and hour of our lives. We often miss opportunities due to laziness, wrong habits, and taking things lightly. When we live life on our own terms, we tend to circle opportunities and take them for granted. We must learn to appreciate and seize every chance we get, as they may not come again. Remember, every day is a chance to learn something new, think new, do new, and grow.
I would like to invite my friends @seharsharif , @jannat12 , @ibraheem75 to take a look and participate into this contest.
