Old Woman and her Needle

Once upon a time an old woman was searching something under the light of the street lamp outside her hut at night. A stranger you passing by decided to help her and asked her what she was searching for. She replied, “My needle has fallen down somewhere and I am trying to find it.” The stranger also decided to look for the needle and others who passed by also stopped and tried to help the old woman find her needle. One gentleman got a bit frustrated as he couldn’t find the needle and asked her “Where exactly did you drop your needle?” The old woman replied “In my hut!” Everyone was now angry with the old woman and asked her why she was searching outside on the road when the needle fell inside the hut. And the poor old woman said, “Oh because there is light here under the streetlamp, in my hut I don’t have any light!” Similarly todays young people think of their future and ask “Where is the light? Where is the money? In which field everyone is going? I should go in that field where there is money!” They don’t listen to their own heart…Where is my aptitude, in which field can I really do great contribution? They dont ask this, instead follow blindly where everyone is going to or follow money but not their own heart.
