Are You The Wise Goat?

Dear loving people,

Over a river in a beautiful village, there was a very narrow bridge. One day a goat was crossing this bridge. Just at the middle of the bridge he met another goat. There was no room for them to pass.

"Go back," said the arrogant goat to the other, "there is no room for both of us".

"Why should I go back?” said the wise goat. "Why should not you go back?"

“You must go back", said the arrogant goat, "because I am stronger than you."

"You are not stronger than I", said the wise goat.

"We will see about that", said the arrogant goat, and he put down his horns to fight.

"Stop!” said the wise goat." If we fight, we shall both fall into the river and be drowned. Instead I have a plan- I shall lie down, and you may walk over me."

Then the wise goat lay down on the bridge, and the arrogant goat walked lightly over him. So they passed each other, and went on their ways.

Some of the times, it is better to yield than to come to misfortune through stubbornness. The wise goat did not only demonstrate leadership qualities and victory, it had a mission to accomplish that day. Rather than waste time fighting the arrogant goat and risk falling into the furious river to get drowned, it preferred to lie down and let the arrogant goat pass over him so he could continue his way.

When you set out to accomplish your daily plans, let no obstacle bring you to a stop, rather seek smart ways to break through your obstacles. It has been my experience that most of the scuffles people have at their job-site and businesses, spring up from exaggerated doses of self-importance, and superiority complex they have. You can break through all of that by just wearing your coat of humility and assertiveness.

You determination to success in life, must outweigh the schemes that people will certainly put-up to derail you.
