Islands of
Life- Island -3-Failure
An
Interaction about Wisdom
The young man and the elderly person reached an
island that looked scary and it was not looking good for people to stay there
for a while.
The young man with a worried face asked “What is the
name of this island?” the elderly person replied it is an “Island of failure”The young man asked “Why should we visit this island?” we could have gone to some other island
The elderly person replied “If we don’t visit this
island, we will never understand the value of life” this is an island which is
larger than the school and valuable than any book on success” There are many
who avoid this island by either staying in comfort zone or surrender to a
mundane life”
Those who have anchored in this island have picked
up many pearls like self-introspection, realisation, power of change,
understand people etc. This island is full of learning and it serves abundant real time stories of mistakes, egos etc.
Once you reflect on your failure, realize your mistake and stop repeating it, you will attain wisdom.
Failure
is nothing wrong, failing to fail is
The young man jumped from the boat and said “I would
like to stay here for a while” The elderly person said “you can, but remember
this is not the end of the journey”The elderly person anchored the boat and started walking into the jungle and found a box which was buried under the tree on which there was a mark, he opened the box and smiled for a while.
The young man asked “what is this?” The elderly person took an old hand written paper and gave it to the young man, the young man started reading the paper and said “This looks like a death note”
The elderly person said “I wrote it before few
years” and started walking back to the boat and the young man started following
him
Let’s follow the elderly person to understand, what
is the next sailing plan
