Patience Pays

There was a farmer. For irrigation of his fields he decided to sink a well. He started to dig. He dug 15 feet down. No water there. The farmer got dejected. He dug another spot 10 feet deep. Again no water. In this way he dugs 6-7 spots.

The frustrated farmer told his tale of woes to an old wise man. The wise man remarked , “What you lack is patience. Young man, had you dug the very first spot 50 feet deep you would have found water. With patience keep digging at a spot. The water will be there.

The farmer followed the advice and found water.

Moral : All the discoveries and inventions that changed the history of man are made by people of endless patience. Thus, patience is the most creative force.
