Once upon a time in a leafy village, trees grown around, a big mahogany tree grown so high, as if, he want to tell the world, how strong and powerful he was. Looks like he emitted his court to everyone who saw it. Not far from that mahogany tree, a bamboo grown side by side the mahogany tree. But if it is saw by opened eyes, just like sky and earth, that strong mahogany with its big branches, and a slight bamboo with its sagged-bough.
Even though they were totally different, they were always lived side by side, the humble bamboo always greeted the mahogany everyday, they talked to each other. The Mahogany Tree always proud to his self, how big and great. The Bamboo never bored to listen to the mahogany pride. Just smiled and flattered with his sincerity heart.
In one night, the heavy rain poured down in that village accompanied by wind blast. The thunderbolt shouted a loud, made that night so stricken. There were so many trees were toppled, because could not against the wind blast. The Mahogany Tree and The Bamboo were also blown by the wind blast. They were trying to stand out not crashed down to the ground.
The Mahogany Tree looked panic, trying to against the wind blast with his big bole. But his bole was not big enough to against the wind that blew so tight, finally The Mahogany Tree fell down to the ground. The Bamboo who was standing beside The Mahogany Tree also blown by the wind blast, but he didn’t against the wind blast, he just only followed where ever the wind blew him, so flexible. And finally, the wind blast passed away. The Bamboo remained standing beautifully, side by side with the Mahogany Tree who was toppled by the wind blast.
~In Pursuing of Success, a man is always faced by problems who come and go. But to be a success person should against that problems with our flexibility, follow and recognize the main problems we have and solve it with flexibility. Just like a bamboo who follow the wind blow so flexible. So that, we have to face the problems and no rigid to one solution. Because, if we are so rigid, and consider we are great without trying to be so flexible, by giving the same solution to one problems, just believe we will topple just like The Big Mahogany Tree~
