Power of Patience
Long ago, in a distant kingdom, there lived a young king named David. David inherited the throne after his father died at the age of 25. He was raised by a wise tutor named Edward, who taught him not only about the world but also about the values of kindness, patience, and wisdom. After his father’s death, Edward became David’s closest advisor, guiding him through the challenges of ruling the kingdom. Edward became the kingdom’s prime minister and trusted advisor. Things were going well in the kingdom for a year when Edward’s miscalculation of the weather caused an unexpected food crisis. In his despair and anger, David, heartbroken, ordered his tutor Edward to leave the kingdom and never return. Edward calmly obeyed, leaving the palace and his familiar life behind to start a new life. He settled in a remote village and chose the life of a humble farmer. Despite his wealth, he chose a simple life, connecting with the villagers and participating in their daily struggles. Edward quickly earned the respect of the villagers, who turned to him for advice on everything from agricultural matters to their solutions. Conflict meant a return to the kingdom. David was troubled. He missed Edward’s wise counsel, especially when faced with complex decisions alone. Gradually, David began to realize that banishing Edward had been a mistake—a decision made in anger, not thought. He regretted it and decided to send troops to find Edward and bring him back. Days turned into weeks, but there was no sign of him. The kingdom was vast, and no one knew where Edward had gone. Then, inspired by Edward’s cunning ways, David had an idea. He decided to see if he could find Edward’s wisdom anywhere in the kingdom. He ordered his soldiers to send a message and a clay jar to each village chief. The message stated that each chief must return the jar filled with wisdom within a month. If they failed, they would have to fill it with precious gems instead. The jar and the message arrived at Edward’s village. The chief, angered by this strange request, went to Edward for advice. Edward reasoned that wisdom could not possibly fit in the jar, and he knew that the village did not even have enough jewels to fill it. The villagers, fearing punishment for rejecting the king’s strange request, turned to Edward. With troubled faces, they pleaded, “Please help us! Only you can find the solution!” Edward quietly sat among them and assured them, “Give me the jar, and I guarantee that it will be filled with wisdom by the end of the month.” The chief asked, “What is your intention?” Edward smiled simply and replied, "I'm not sure yet, but in time, I believe a solution will come." Trusting in Edward's wisdom, the villagers left the jar with him, hoping that he would find a solution in the silence of his field. Edward pondered the problem. Suddenly, he saw a small gourd vine nearby, and an idea struck him. He gently placed a small gourd inside the jar without cutting it from the vine. Day after day, he watered it, and over time, the gourd grew so large that it completely filled the jar, making it impossible to remove. Finally, Edward cut off the vine and left the jar with the ripe gourd inside. As the king had requested, he returned the jar to the kingdom. When King David received the jar, he was amazed to see it filled with giant gourds. He smiled and said, "It takes wisdom to grow a gourd of this size in a jar." He immediately realized that this clever solution could only come from Edward, without hesitation. David prepared to go, determined to find Edward, apologize to him, and bring him back to the kingdom. Don't make decisions in a state of anger. Strong emotions can cloud your judgment and lead to regret. Second, take a moment to calm yourself down before trying to solve the problem. A calm mind promotes clear thinking and helps you find the best way forward. Remember that wisdom often comes from patience and understanding.

Do you know your Breaking Point?
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Second opinion" in regards to medical advice? It occurred often when a professional medical advisor stated something unbelievable or unwanted. That may seem odd to you, but what is even more surprising, is that many have sought a "second opinion" in such matters, and found what they were looking for. Your BMI alerts one trained professional to tell you that you are obese, while only 20 pounds overweight. Yet another doctor who had previously been a Sumu wrestler says you are perfectly healthy. Sometimes a second opinion is the way to go.
