In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a road way.Then he hide himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came and simply walked around it
Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear.But non did anything about getting the big stone out of the way.Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables.On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road
After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was the person who removed the boulder from the road way
The peasant learned what many others understand
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition
