There once was a stone statue that was worshipped by the people, it was very wise and was able to solve many problems the villagers were facing, soon, it became very popular and many travelled from near and afar just to listen to this enlightened stone.

Everyone benefitted from the sharing of this stone statue. As times passed, the people who received guidance came back and asked the **same problems**, over and over again.

"Soon, the stone statue kept answering the same questions repeatedly"

One day, the stone statue told a joke when everyone was listening to its shares, everyone was laughing. The stone statue told the same joke later and a small number laughed. By the 3rd time the stone statue said the same joke, no one laughed anymore.

The stone statue then said: **"You can't laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?"** Did you all resonate with this story?

**"There's always a way if you want to do it; there's always an excuse if you don't"**

**"We should master changes by making the work for us rather than against us"**

How many times have you heard of people complaining about the same problem? Complaining won't do anything if you want to move forward in life, remember that!

**Your attitude towards challenges indicate how mature you are,** **how have you grown.** You never see successful people mumble and groan about their own problems, do you?
