Choosing The Correct Path

Something that the master said which I really liked was “I will not open the door for a mind that is not already striving to understand, nor will I provide words to a tongue that is not already struggling to speak.” (Book eight) I felt that this could really apply to my daily life since some days when I am very tired and don’t want to play golf I see the teacher struggling to teach me but he can’t. This is a problem that is very common it is impossible for a teacher to teach his pupil if the pupil doesn’t have the will to learn. It is the same as the people who won’t accept or ask for any help, the other person won’t go looking to help them.

This brought me to another very important topic. In order for a person to want to learn he has to be learning something that he likes. Many people often say that their goal is to make money but if they want to make money through something that they don’t like it is very likely that they don’t make money and don’t live a happy life. When this happens the person ends up with ought his original goal and without happiness which is probably the most important thing in life. As the master mentions “If wealth were something worth pursuing, then I would pursue it, even if it meant serving as an officer holding a whip at the entrance to a marketplace. Since it is not worth pursuing, however, I prefer to follow that which I love.” (Book seven) Your goal should be something that you like and this will bring upon very positive effects. You will live a happy life and probably make enough money to live well. What many people miss is that money is not what is important and happiness comes with money but this is false money cant buy happiness and happiness will probably bring money.
