Once Ramakrishna Paramahansa (teacher of Swami Vivekananda) sent two of his students to dig a well to get water.
First student dug for 1 metre in a place. Then left it thinking this place is too dry to get water. He dug for another 1
metre. Then again he did not get water. He left this one too. He kept
on digging at several places and abandoned those after little effort. So
finally he returned with huge disappointment with the excuse that this place is too dry to get water.
The second student dug for 1 metre. He found rock. It was difficult to dig. But he kept on doing. He found harder rock as he keep on digging. He got exhausted, but he did not leave hope. He kept on digging. After digging 99 metre deep, there lied the hardest rock. For a while he thought how can there be water beneath such hard rock. He was bit dillusioned with exhaustion.
But he remembered his teacher's conviction of getting water at that place. He came back strongly. He removed the hardest rock with his full energy. And underneath this he found water.
To get success Patience and hard work are must. Complete focus and dedication over one thing for a substantial time.
