First, question
the wise man ...

"To question a wise
man is the beginning of wisdom."

If you are lost in a forest, which path will you take?
Five wise men got lost in a forest.
The first one said," I will go left – my intuition
tells me that."
The second one said,"I will go right – there is a reason
why right comes from the word rightness."
The third one said," I will go back – we came from
there, it means I will go out from the forest."
The fourth one said," I will go straight – we should
move forward, the forest will end and something new will open."
The fifth said," You are all wrong. There is a better solution.
Wait for me."
He found the tallest tree and climbed into it. While he was climbing
everyone else scattered towards their own sides. From above he
saw where they should go to leave the forest faster. Now he could
even see in what order the other wise men will reach the end of
the forest. He climbed higher and saw the shortest way. He understood
the problem and found the best solution! He knew that he did everything
right and the others were wrong. They were stubborn and they didn’t
listen to him and he was considered to be the real Wise Man!
So, who do you think is right here?
In fact, everyone is right.
The one who went left, found himself in the thickest. He had to
starve and fight with wild animals. But he learned how to survive
in the forest; he became a part of the forest and could teach
others the same.
The one who went right, met thieves. They took everything from
him and made him steal with them. But after some time, he had
woken up something in those thieves that they have forgotten –
humanity and compassion. The remorse was so strong in some of
them, that after his death they also became the wise men.
The one who went back, made a pathway through the forest, which
soon became a road for those who wanted to walk in the forest
without being afraid of getting lost.
The one who went straight, became a pioneer. He visited the places
where no one else was and opened wonderful new possibilities for
people, amazing healing plants and magnificent animals.
The one who climbed into the tree, became a specialist of finding
short ways. People turned to him when they wanted to find the
fastest way to deal with their problems, even if it didn’t
lead to any development.
In life, every path can lead you to your goal but with varied
experiences. Your choice determines your experience not your destination!
So, do not get discouraged by your path but keep an eye on your
goal while gaining your experiences.
