The Oak and The Willow

There is an old fable in which the mighty oak tree which stood for over one hundred years finally was blown over a storm. The tree feel into a river that floated it downstream until it came to rest among the reeds growing along the riverbank. The fallen giant asked the reeds in amazement, "How is it that you were able to weather the storm that was too powerful for me, an oak tree, to withstand?"

The reeds replied, "All these years you stubbornly resisted the winds that swept your way. You took such pride in your strength that you refused to yield, even a little bit. We on the other hand, have not resisted the winds, but have always bent with them. We recognized the superior power of the wind and so, the harder the wind blew the more we humbled ourselves before it."

"This is a great message in these days, months and years that many people are facing storms in their personal life. We must not resist but go with the wind. Sometimes you will find the succeed path again if we let go what we stand for so proud. We will rise again and after big storm and long night, a beautiful day will come and a bright sun will arrive."
