You can do anything - Listen to your inner voice

This story is of two friends in a village who always used to spend time together. One boy was of 10-year-old and the other was 6 years old. They used to play, eat, and live together almost all the time. Their friendship was a pure bond of trust. One day the 10-year-old boy accidentally fell into the well while he was playing. As he didn’t know how to swim, he screamed and raised his voice for help. The 6-year-old boy came to spot after hearing his scream, but there was no one nearby he could ask for help. He then saw a container tied to a rope, without another thought in his mind, he immediately threw the container inside the well and told his friend to keep a hold of it while he was pulling the rope outside. He thrust forward and pulled him with all his strength until he came out of the well.


Fortunately, the 10-year-old boy came out and hugged his companion. They then went to the village and posited their incident in front of their parents and villagers. After listening to their story, people were stunned and couldn’t believe their story. They all thought how could a 6-year-old boy managed to pull his weight up. No one was ready to accept their story but there was one wise man in the village who was well-educated and all the villagers used to acknowledge his words.


The wise man believed their story and the villagers were taken aback by his thought. They asked the wise man, “How is it possible that a 6-year-old managed to escape the other boy?”. He then replied, "When he was pulling the rope, there was no one beside him to tell him that he couldn’t do it."


His statement amazed everyone and they realized how others' thoughts create an impact on any individual.


Moral - In life, people will tell you that you are not capable of doing this, but it’s you who need to understand that they are saying that to them and not to you. Just because they are not able to do something, they spread the same negative connection to others. You don’t have to listen to them and just believe your instincts.
