There was an accomplished elderly farmer who specialized in cultivating tomatoes for several years. One day, his grandson approached him, expressing his aspirations to achieve greatness and fulfill his dreams. The grandson sought advice on what pitfalls to evade.
“Grandfather, I want to achieve great things in life and make all of my dreams come true. What are the things I should avoid?”
The farmer paused thoughtfully before responding. He advised, “To start, steer clear of procrastination. Second, don’t fear failure. Third, avoid self-deception. However, the most crucial lesson, I’ll reveal in due time.”
