In the mountains lived a man who
makes his living chopping wood. The woodcutter has painstakingly
built a nice sheltered wooden house to live in.
One day, he was carrying chopped firewood and went to the city to sell. When he returned home in the evening, he found his house on fire. Neighbors all came to help put out the fire but the wind was too strong in the evening and the fire had grown too big. There was nothing much they could do but just stand there; watching the blazing fire flames engulfed the entire wooden house. After the fire, the wood cutter goes through the ruin with a stick looking for something. The onlookers thought he was looking for the precious treasures hidden inside. Strangely, they watched his actions from the sidelines. Suddenly, the woodcutter got excited shouting: "I found it! I found it!" Neighbors found the woodcutter holding just an axe. The woodcutter excitedly inserts the stick into the axe and said confidently: "As long as there is this axe head, soon I will be able to build a stronger durable home." The woodcutter understands that the house is gone. In fact, it is useless to be sad. He knows that he has to start from zero again. As long as there are tools, it can be used to build a new house with your own hands and start all over again. In life, unexpected event does happen and it is up to us how we respond to it. We came to life with nothing and we will also go with nothing. Therefore, cry out loud if you have to and then pick yourself up and move forward positively again. |
