I hope you this story as much as the last:

A Drop of Honey

A man was walking through the jungle when, all of a sudden, he encountered a large tiger. He was almost exhausted when he saw the tiger, but he was so frightened that he got a burst of adrenaline and stared running. The tiger chased after him. The man ran as fast as he could, but all of a sudden, he stumbled into a deep, dry well. The well was very old and had been covered over with creepers and vines. Luckily, he didn't fall all the way to the bottom but caught hold of one of the vines.

So there he was hanging midway down the well. He started to climb up, but when he looked up, he saw the tiger standing there. "Oh my gosh," he said, "what should I do now?" I can't hold on like this much longer! I'll just have to let go and jump.

As the man was about to jump, he looked down below and saw a big cobra. So there was a cobra below and a tiger above. Just at that moment, the fellow heard a faint scratching noise and felt a vibration along the vine he was holding. He looked up and saw a small rat nibbling on the creeper. At any moment, the creeper would be cut and he would fall below. What a predicament! He wonder, "What am I to do?"

All of a sudden, something fell onto his lip, a kind of heavy drop. He licked his lip and wondered, "What is that?" Soon he realized that when he fell down, he had disturbed a honey comb, and a drop of honey now fell onto his lip. "Ah," he thought, "this is just like the honey I had when I went to my mother-in-law's place for the first time and met my wife-to-be. Oh, she was such a beautiful girl". Then he started thinking about his wedding day, the beautiful feast, and how happy the honey moon had been.

He continued to daydream: "Ah, but sadly she divorced me. Still, she has a sister somewhere. Maybe when I go back, I should ask the sister to marry me". And he started planning for another marriage. Thus, a little, tiny drop of honey made him forget all about the danger of his present situation, as well as his past suffering, and there he was looking to make the same mistakes again in the future.

People constantly think of triffiling, temporary, fleeting happiness. They forget all about the knocks and bumps they received in life and make the same mistakes again and again. If you want to speed up your growth, learn from your past experiences and stay away from anything that would disturb your peace
