In a village near a desert lived a young and successful businessman named James. He often felt ___1___ because of the endless challenges he faced.
One day, a wise old man came to the village with 100 camels (骆驼). James went to see him and said, “I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems. Please tell me how to make them ___2___ .”
The old man smiled and said, “I’ll give you an ___3___ tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me?” James agreed. The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all ___4___ and rested before he could go to sleep.
The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.” “That’s true. Some camels sat down on their own, ___5___ others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after quite a lot of effort,” the old man said.
James nodded.
The old man continued, “Your problems are just ___6___ the camels. There are always some problems that cannot get solved even if you’ve tried your best. Leave such problems to time until one day they themselves come to an end.”
James felt a sense of understanding. It completely changed the way he saw life’s challenges.
