When he was tired of walking for hours, he met an old man seating beneath a banyan tree with whom he sat to rest for a while and shared his food and water.
While talking with him he came to realize that the old man once was very successful rich man and lived a life of a king. He was curious to know the success and failure the old man saw.
old man said, “I don't remember my first failure when i failed to step my foot to walk on my own as a toddler. i will not remember my last failure to step out to walk on my own when I am older. It’s between these two failed steps, journey of life full of successes and failures lies. What matters is the courage to walk through ups and downs on my own before i cease to walk. world’s greatest men, who walk this journey with high dignity and courage, are always unknown to world. I am on my journey, where are you heading?"
