Owning a cow and buying the Milk

Owning a cow and buying the Milk

A middle-aged man was living in the suburbs to avoid the noisy city life. He constructed an independent house with open area for farming too. Once the middle-aged man was seen shopping for some milk in the nearby shop, his neighbour asked him "When you have a cow in your house, why are buying the milk from the shop?"

The middle-aged man replied "The person who takes care of the farm is gone to his hometown and all my farm activities have come to a standstill"

The neighbour said "it is nice to have a farm, but difficult to manage it without proper manpower"

The middle-aged man agreed and they both started walking back to their respective homes.

Let us relate this incident with our life

Sometimes we have the needed resources with us, but we search for opportunities outside, it is like having the cow and buying the milk outside.

We aspire to lead a different life, but we fail to learn the new skills for adapting to the new life, it is like depending on the caretaker for taking care of the farm.

Let us upgrade our skills to utilise the strengths within

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
