Secret of success

                              Secret of success
Long ago, there lived mother and her child in a broken house. They didnt have the money to repair their house as they are poor. But mother wants her child to be well educated. She always says to her child to study well.
One day , child refused to go to school. Mother didnt take it seriously. But the situation continued for next day and to the next week also. Now she began to worry. She tried to talk to the child about what makes him not to go to school.
At first, child didnt reply. But as the pressure continued from his mother, now , he opened up. He said to her, all the students make fun of him in school. Thats why he didnt want to go to school. Hearing this, mother fell silent for a while.
Then she took the child to nearby river. River was flowing silently. She pointed to it and said to child that river is flowing silently. Now she dropped a large stone on river water. Now , the flow of water is disrupted. But it was only for a moment.
Water found there is little space available beneath the stone. It started flowing in that direction. First, little water came outside through the space. Then more water. As water inflow became more, water came upon the stone and started flowing on it. Now, the water flow is such that it can not be said there was a stone in it. River then started flowing normally.
Mother showed this to child and said " As water didnt care for a stone blocking its way, like that we also must not care for tantrums thrown by people. Then success will come near us. We must not lay the step behind fearing to these small time obstacles".
Child understood what his mother mean to say . He started going to school regularly not worrying about other people. He grown up and became  the first prime minister of Indonesia.
Moral: Our goal must always be on reaching the target .
