A man and his wife owned a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich.
"Just think," said the man's wife, "If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose, we could be richer much faster."
"You're right," said her husband, "We wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day."
So, the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs.
MORAL-We should not rely on pure luck. We need to move and act to make ourselves successful.
REFLECTION: THE BEST EXAMPLE I CAN GIVE IS WHEN WE BET ON LOTTERIES. IF WE WIN, THERE’S A TENDENCY THAT WE’LL KEEP ON COMING BACK FOR MORE. WE MIGHT WIN ONCE OR TWICE BUT OUR LOSE WILL BE TWICE THAN THAT. THAT IS BECAUSE WE’RE NOT CONTENTED OF WHAT WE HAVE. WE ALWAYS LOOK FOR SOMETHING BETTER AND THE RESULT-APPARENTLY NOTHING. WE REALIZE IT’S WORTH WHE IT’S GONE THEN. AIN’T THAT RIGHT HUH? THAT IS WHY, WE SHOULD PRACTICE CONTENTMENT OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE. THAT’S THE SECRET TO A SIMPLE AND PEACEFUL LIFE
