How to AIM????

In ancient India, a group of young princes were sent to their family gurukul (school) for their studies. Their first class was that of weapons i.e., which weapon was the best suited for each prince. The teacher asked each student to pick up a bow and arrow and asked them to aim for the eye of bird situated on the top most branch of a nearby tree.

He then asked each student to describe what they saw. First student replied, “I see the bird and the tree.” The teacher then turned to the second student who replied, “I see the bird, the tree and the sky.” The teacher then enquired the student who replied, “I see the bird’s eye.” The teacher then questioned him, “Don’t you see the tree?” to which the student replied, “No sir.” The teacher asked him further, “Don’t you see the sky or your brothers or me?” The boy replied, “No.”

The teacher then asked the boy to release the arrow which the boy did and guess what, he hit the bird’s eye. The boy was none other than the legendary Indian marksman Arjun from Mahabharata.

To hit our targets, we need to aim for nothing but the target. For he who sees only the target will find/hit it unlike others whose vision is blurred by other things thereby making the target smaller.


Similarly, to reach our goals, our eyes should only be on the goal and not on other things.
