THE STORY IRON AND WATER

 

There are two objects namely iron and water,Iron is often proud of himself.He often bragged to his friend:"Look it's me, strong and hard. I do not like you are weak and soft"
Water only silent with the behavior of his friend. One day iron challenging water race to penetrate a cave and overcome all the obstacles that were there.
The rule: "He who can pass through the cave  without getting hurt he is the winner
Iron and the waters began to race

Their first hurdle is : that they have to pass the cave guard  namely stones hard and sharp,Iron began to show his strength, he rammed himself into the rocks.But because of the too hard rock finally began to crumble and overwrite iron,the iron many injured because against the stone.Water does his job he dripped little by little to counter the rocks.he gently scrape the rocks it so that other stones are not disturbed and do not realize it,
he was just punching holes as needed in order to pass through but does not damage other stones.Water and iron Score 1: 0 to obstacles in.

The second hurdle is; they have to go through various narrow gap to arrive at the bottom of the cave.Iron rely to his power, he transformed himself into a solid drill bit and he started to spin to penetrate the cracks.But the crack it was quite difficult be passed,getting hard spin the slit was getting ruined but he was also getting injure.Water casually transform itself following the shape of the cracks,
it flows slowly and because of that it can be changed freely without injured running through the cracks and arrived quickly bottom of the cave.
Score water and iron 2: 0.

The third hurdle is that they must be able to pass through a valley and arrived outside the cave.Iron difficulty overcoming this hurdle, he does not know what to do, finally he said to water : " Score 2: 0, I will acknowledge your greatness if you can go through this last hurdle!"Water pooled immediately in fact he struggles to overcome this hurdle, but then he let the sun help to be able to evaporate.Then the water fall as rain. Air wins hands down over the iron with the score 3: 0.

Make your life like a water.

He can get something with softness without damaging and injure due to little by little he moves but he can penetrate rock hard.Remember a person's heart can only be opened with tenderness and love not by coercion and violence.Violence only leads to resentment and coercion only lead to a desire for self-defense.

Water always changes its shape according to its environment, it is flexible and not rigid so he can be accepted by the environment and there is nothing contrary to her.Water not despair, though he still flowing through the smallest gap.And even if the water run into an impossibility to solve the problem, still given potentiality transform themselves into a vapor (This is the miracle).
