Last Stop.
The villagers living in the Sundarbans were always in danger of wild animals. Especially the youths who used to go to the dense forests to pick wood, they could be attacked by tigers at any time.
This was the reason that they all used to take training in climbing and descending trees fast. The training was given by an elder of the village itself; Who was considered a master of this art in his time. Everyone used to respectfully call him Baba-Baba.
Baba had been teaching a group of youth for a few months the intricacies of fast climbing and descending trees and today was the last day of their training.
Baba said, "Today is the last day of your training, I want all of you to show yourself a quick climb up and down on this smooth and tall tree once in a while."
All the young men got ready to show their skills.
The first young man started climbing the tree fast and soon reached the highest branch of the tree. Then he started descending, and when he came about halfway down, Baba said, "Be careful, be careful. ...get down easy...no haste…."
the young man came down carefully
Similarly the rest of the youths also climbed and descended on the tree, and each time Baba asked them to be careful only after coming down halfway.
This thing seemed strange to the youth, and one of them asked, "Baba, we do not understand a thing about you, the most difficult part of the tree was the very top, where both climbing and descending was very difficult, You didn't ask us to be careful then, but why did you instruct us to be careful when we came down half of the tree and the rest was easy to get down? ,
Baba said getting serious, "Son! We all know that the upper part is the most difficult, so there we all become alert ourselves and take full care. But when we start approaching our goal, it seems very easy to us…. We are excited and overconfident and this is the time when most mistakes are likely to happen.
This is the reason why I warned you people after half the tree has come down so that you do not make any mistake by coming near your destination! ,
The youth understood Baba's point, today he had got a great lesson.
Friends, it is very important to set a goal to be successful, and it is also very important that when we come close to achieving our goal, when we get the destination in front, then do not be in a hurry and take our step forward with full patience. Increase.
Many people lose their patience while approaching the goal and make mistakes due to which they miss their goal. Therefore, even after reaching the last stage of the goal, do not take any kind of carelessness and take breath only after achieving the goal.
