Untangle the thread in your life.

Untangle the thread in your life.

A Youngman asked an old monk, "what is success?"

The monk said, "wait for few minutes."

After sometimes, he gave a thread that was tangled and told the youngster to untangle it.

After few minutes, the Youngman gave up and said, " I cannot untangle it".

The monk took back the thread and examined it for a while and he slowly untangled it.

The Youngman asked surprisingly, " how did you do that?"

The old monk said, " I was desperate to untangle it, I was focused only on untangling it and nothing else was there in my mind other the untangled thread."

The old monk added by saying, "Success never comes easily, it is like this tangled thread, we need to develop skills, knowledge and determination to work towards it."

The Youngman said, "it is an eye opener."

The old monk said, “never give up, that should be a mantra to succeed”.

The Youngman asked, "can you give me one more tangled thread?"

The old monk said, "there is many tangled threads in your life, go ahead and untangle it."

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...
