Persistence - A short Parable

Sometimes we vastly overestimate what we should achieve in a week

and vastly underestimate what we could achieve in a lifetime





One day, two children were out walking in the hills when they noticed a man in the distance, carrying a bucket of stones down from a mountain top.

The first child said "Who is that?"

And the other replied "Don’t you know? He's the man who moves the pebbles"

Years later, the same two children - now fully grown adults- were out walking in the hills once more. And, in the distance, they noticed a man again (now severely aged).

He was still carrying a bucket of stones - only, now, there was nothing but blue skies and open land behind him


Here - just as before = the first adult asked "Who is that?"

And this time, his friend replied "Don’t you know?

He's the man who moved the mountain!"
