Once a king had announced that anyone who wanted the post of personal assistant must meet him.
Many people gathered in the palace. The king led them to a pond and said, "Whoever will empty this pond's water with this pot will be chosen for the post. But remember, there is a hole in the pot."
Many left without a single try. They said, "The king has already chosen someone else. Let's go."
But one man kept filling the pot with pond water patiently. But always within few moments, the water poured on the ground completely. He never gave up and kept trying persistently.
At last the pond became empty. The man found a diamond ring in the empty pond and he gave it to the king.
At this the king said, "This ring is a reward for your endurance and hard work. You are fit for the job."
Message:
1. Tough times don’t last; tough people do
2. Life is just repeated attempts at trying to do better
3. Endurance is patience concentrated
