Life Lessons from Scissors

A young man approached an old monk and asked, “what I should do to overcome my problems”. The old monk placed a gift box which was wrapped and tightly packed, he told to unwrap the box.

The young man tried to use his both the hands to tear the wrapper, the old monk intervened and handed over a pair of scissors to open the box and the young man did the same.

The old monk said

· The gift called challenge is wrapped with a packet called problem

· The blades of the scissors represent the skills and the knowledge which needs to be sharpened regularly to face the problems

· The pivot point in the centre of the scissors which holds the blades represents the Attitude, which is pivotal in holding the skills and knowledge

The old monk added

In the hands of a craftsman the wrapper can also become a beautiful origami

The young man smiled and said “It was a good lesson”
