These two inspiring stories are taken from the book You Can Win by Shiv Khera

پہلی کہانی

تتلی کی مثالبیالوجی کے استاد نے طلبا کو بتایا کہ تتلی کس طرح خول کو توڑ کر نکلتی ہے۔ پھر اس نے خول ان کے سامنے رکھ دیا اور بتایا کہ دو گھنٹے بعد اس میں سے تتلی نکلے گی۔ اس نے انہیں منع کیا کہ کوئی تتلی کی مدد نہ کرے۔ اس کے بعد وہ کلاس روم سے باہر چلا گیا۔ٹھیک دو گھنٹے بعد خول ٹوٹنے لگا اور تتلی باہر آنے کی جدوجہد کرنے لگی۔ اس کی حالت دیکھ کر ایک طالب علم سے رہا نہ گیا اور اس نے استاد کی ہدایت کو نظر انداز کرتے ہوئے تتلی کی مدد کے خیال سے خول کو توڑ دیا۔ تتلی آزاد ہو گئی لیکن تھوڑی ہی دیر بعد مر گئی۔جب استاد کو پتا چلا تو اس نے طلبا کو سمجھایا کہ خول کو توڑنے کی جو جدوجہد تتلی کو وہ قوت عطا کرتی ہے، جس سے وہ زندہ رہتی ہے، چونکہ طالب علم نے اس کو جدوجہد نہیں کرنے دی تھی، اس لیے وہ مر گئی تھی۔اس اصول کا اطلاق اپنی زندگیوں پر کرو۔ زندگی میں جو کچھ اہم ہے، قابل قدر ہے، قیمتی ہے، اور جدوجہد کے بغیر حاصل نہیں ہوتا۔ جو والدین اپنے بچوں کو جدوجہد نہیں کرنے دیتے وہ انہیں نقصان پہنچا رہے ہوتے ہیں۔

دوسری کہانی

انسان جو کچھ سوچ سکتا ہے، ذہن وہی کچھ حاصل کر سکتا ہے۔“سقراط کا واقعہایک نوجوان نے سقراط سے پوچھا کہ کامیابی کا راز کیا ہے؟ سقراط نے اسے کہا مجھے کل صبح دریا کے کنارے آکر ملنا۔ اگلی صبح ان کی ملاقات ہوئی تو سقراط نے کہا آؤ میرے ساتھ دریا کی طرف چلو۔ وہ چلتے چلتے دریا میں اتر گیا مگر آگے بڑھتا رہا۔ جب پانی گردن تک پہنچا تو سقراط نے نوجوان کو پکڑ کر اسے پانی میں غوطہ دے دیا۔ نوجوان نے اس کی گرفت سے نکلنے کی کوشش کی لیکن سقراط اس سے زیادہ طاقت ور تھا اس لیے نوجوان کامیاب نہیں ہوا۔ سقراط نے اسے پانی میں ڈبوئے رکھا۔ جب نوجوان کا حال خراب ہو گیا تو سقراط نے اسے پانی سے نکل لیا۔ نوجوان نے پانی سے سر نکالتے ہی منہ کھول کر لمبا سانس لیا۔ سقراط نے پوچھا ” جب تم پانی کے نیچے تھے تو تمہیں سب سے زیادہ کسی چیز کی خواہش تھی ؟ نوجوان نے کہا ”ہوا کی ۔ سقراط نے کہا یہی ہے کامیابی کا راز “جب تم کامیابی کی اس طرح شدید خواہش کرتے ہو جس طرح پانی میں ڈوبے ہوئے نوجوان نے ہوا کی خواہش کی تھی تب تم کامیاب ہو جاتے ہو۔ جس طرح تھوڑی سی آگ زیادہ حرارت نہیں دے سکتی اسی طرح کمزور خواہش عظیم نتائج کو جنم نہیں دے سکتی۔
