Life Lessons from a Cobbler to face the Corona days

Once I approached a cobbler for polishing my shoes, I noticed the cobbler cutting a leather from an old shoe, I told him to finish his work, he said “ no problem sir, I am just only removing the leather which I can use it once I get some work, I nodded my head and gave my shoes to him, after some time he gave a well-polished shoes to me. 

 While I was paying the money, I asked him “how do you keep yourself occupied?” He said “ you just saw me cutting the leather from an old shoe, similarly I will  do something or other to ensure I keep practicing my work so that I can be fast in my work. I nodded my head & left the place.

 For the past few days I felt I had nothing to do, due to Covid-19 and I was also feeling low, but when I recollected the above interaction I had with the cobbler I immediately came to terms with myself and started doing what I was doing in my normal working days. 

 A cobbler on road lives with few rupees in the hand, but he ensured he keeps his  body and mind busy irrespective of whether there is work or not, similarly we need keep  our mind and body busy  to ensure we go back with a same vigour and extra competency once the Covid-19 comes to an end.

 We do not require a job in the hand to be busy, we require a mind to be busy
