Islands of Life- Island -4-Success

 An Interaction about Wisdom

The young man asked “Why did you write the death note? The elderly person said “I did meet failures; I was low and decided to conclude my life.

 After writing the letter, I decided to live my life for few days on my own terms, I chose to be in isolation I picked up few books on self-development, downloaded some speeches and videos on life. 

 After spending my time on my own terms, I came across some inspiring words, people and their struggle in the books and videos I saw. That moment I decided to restart my life and buried my death note in the island where we anchored.

 The young man asked “Can you tell me, one particular reason or a thought that changed your decision?”

 The elderly person said “not one, there are many, I would like to sum up my thoughts in three lines”

1.   Failure and success are not destinations; they are just a part of the journey

2.   Success is time for celebration; failure is time for learning

3.   Let death come to you, you need go in search of it

 In the mean-time the boat was nearing the island called -Success, the Young man, said “should we anchor in this island or should we proceed further, the elderly person “Let’s spend brief time to pick up some pearls called – humbleness.

They both tied the boat and started walking on the sea shore, where some waves swept their legs and some waves just moved back.

 

The elderly person, said success is like these waves they come and go.

If you want the waves of success to touch you more, you need go towards the sea.

The young man moved towards the sea and huge a wave took him deep, after some time he came fully drenched and looked at the elderly person smiling at him and he said “If you immerse deep into success you will be carried away by ego, if you realize, relate and imbibe this truth, you will attain wisdom.

 I am handling my experience as pearls of wisdom:

1. Wisdom-1-Mind is an island where learning is the pearl, we acquire
2. Wisdom-2-Efforts is an island where results are the pearls, we acquire
3. Wisdom-3-Failures is an island where mistakes are the pearls, we acquire
4. Wisdom-4-Success is an island where humbleness is the peal, we acquire

The young man thanked the elderly person and said “which is the next island we need to anchor, the elderly person said “We will go back to the Island, called -Efforts

 The elderly person concluded by telling “whether we fail or succeed we should keep putting our efforts, at one point of time, if our efforts doesn’t fetch results, we need to visit the called Mind to think what needs to be done

Keep sailing…. Life is a journey
