The upbringing of small monkeys is done by their mothers like climbing
from one tree to other.
Story starts with a female monkey, named ‘Wanly’ which
had one infant. When the infant monkey began to grow, its mother was giving it
training of how to climb up and down the trees.
After some days of training, One day Wanly told her infant-
Today is the last day of your training, think as if it is time for your
examination. After this, you yourself will be matured; will find your food
yourself and live your life according to your own. Today, you have to climb the
highest branch of this long tree and then come down; this is final exam of your
training.
Infant monkey quickly climbed the tree and in few
seconds reached the highest branch of that big tree, then rapidly returned
back; but while returning when it had completed the half way, its mother warned
it by saying- Child, this tree is much slippery, so walk down slowly-slowly by looking
all around. There is lots of moss, and the fear of being skidding is high.
The infant monkey carefully came downwards.
After coming down, it asked its mother- In that long
tree when I climbed upwards you didn’t say anything, but when I was coming downwards
you told me to walk down slowly. If I had climbed upwards successfully then I could
also return down successfully?
Wanly replied- Dear son, climbing on that slippery long
tree was a tough task, that’s why while climbing upwards you were yourself
cautious but while returning back you might fall due to over-confidence so I
informed you; because while coming close to our goal we become over-confident
and the level of doing mistakes increases.
This way, infant monkey learned about the harm of over-confidence
which was the last part of his training.
Dear friends, Self-confidence is helpful to achieve
our goal but little bit of over-confidence can make us fall. That’s why it’s
necessary to maintain a distance between confidence and over confidence. Thank
You.
