The Obstacle in the Road (Opportunity)

A long time ago, a king placed a big rock in the middle of a road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would try to move it.

Some rich merchants and important people came by. They simply walked around the rock. Many of them complained loudly, blaming the king for not keeping the road clear. But no one tried to move the rock.

After some time, a poor man came along carrying a bag of vegetables. When he saw the rock, he put down his load and began to push it. It took a lot of effort, but he finally managed to move the rock to the side of the road.

As he picked up his bag again, he noticed a small purse where the rock had been. It was full of gold coins and a note from the king. The note said the gold was a reward for the person who cleared the road.

Moral:
Every problem we face is a chance to grow. While some people only complain, others take action—and that’s where true opportunity lies.

Even though he couldn’t move his legs and had no feeling in them, he kept believing that one day, he would walk again. His mother helped him every day by massaging his legs. At first, there was no change. But the boy didn’t stop trying. One sunny day, his ...
