“What a pity! ”said the chief. “Son, you’ve been halfway up the mountain rather than to the summit. Now you can leave. ”
A month later, the third young man showed up in rags, his hair off-colored but his eyes clear and bright.
“Lord, I succeeded in reaching the summit. There was nothing there but the highland wind and the blue sky (hang)over the land. ”
“So you saw nothing at all? Not even butterfly? ”

“Son, you’ve reached the real mountaintop. Congratulations! You will be undoubtedly made our new tribal chief! ”

we started talking to each other. What I had said made
big difference to everyone’s day. You can see that it is much easier to spread kindness
words.

stressed manner. The key is to simplify your life. Just relax by focusing
the moment.
