Hello friends, hope you all are doing well.

From childhood we hear things like we need to set goal to become successful, and do whatever it takes to reach there. Fine, no problem at all with this saying, often it is true as well. 

But have you question yourself about the time it take to reach a set goal for a average person. Today I will tell you a story about "How much a person need to reach his/her goal." I read this story from a book I am currently reading.

Let's begin......

It is story of a young boy who travelled far from his home to study under a great teacher. When he met his teacher, an old wise man, his first question is How long will it take me before I am as wise as you?

Teacher response swiftly, Five years.

As the boy thought it is a very long time, he replied How about if I work twice as hard?

Master replied "Then it will take Ten years"

Knowing its too long time boy again ask "How about if  I  studied all day and well into the night, every night?

'Fifteen years' said the wise man.

Hearing the answers young boy confused and ask 'I don't understand. Every time I promise to devote more energy to my goal, you tell me that it will take longer. Why?'

Wise man with his experience throughout life said ' The answer  is simple. With one eye fixed on the destination, there is only one left to guide you along the journey'.

Boy understood actually how much it will take to reach his goal.

"Be patient and live with the knowledge that all you are searching for is certain to come if you prepare for it and expect it."

It doesn't mean that we forgot our goal and move  randomly, goals are necessary for the right direction,  to give as the right track in our life.

 Hope you guys enjoy the story and learn a very important lesson.
