Life always has various opportunities, but it forever nestled closely into the biggest obstacles, in the difficulties that you may have to deal with it in oder to know whether it really brings good value for you or not I remembered in Tuesday evening, I have read “The obsatcle in our path” in my class During the story, there are three main characters: the wise king, the hard-working peasant, and the heartless merchants and courtiers An anonymous peasant with his kind heart and generosity, began his life-changing adventure with his diligence and hard work silently, spent straining hours to push the stone out of the roadway “The obsatcle in our path” by unknown author, is a short story was taken from “the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books”, published by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen in 1993 In this story, you would have a new fabulous point of views about lesson in facing obstacles in your life If I have one world to describe this story, immediately it will be “action” Every time you are faced with an obstacle on the road, you have a choice A choice to look at that obstacle, nothing and grumble Or, to choose your behaviors and take action to remove the obstacle So to speak, the story teaches a lesson in the advantages of taking action on what is blocking your path Once upon a time, there is a story told of a king who lived in a beautiful and peaceful country across the sea He was a very wise and lenient king, he allways try all best to find out the best solution to teach his people good habits Sometimes he did things which seemed to them strange and useless; but all that he did, he did to teach his people to be hard-working and careful At that time, he mused that “whose people complain and expect others to fix their problems for them The good things of life are given to those who take matters into their own hands.” Because the king really wanted to see how behavior and attitudes of both officers and people in his country head with difficulties and non-personal problems One night, while everyone else slept, he ordered his men to place a huge rock in the road They placed the rock and then he hid behind a fence, and waited to see what would happen He wonder if anyone would try to remove the rock away Non out of the king's expectation, one by one just crossing over the boulder with a lot disapointed and upset Some merchants with their luxury and grandeur They went straight ahead and did not see the stone, but struck thier foot against it and went sprawling in the dust They became angrily about the lazy people who had no more sense than to leave such a huge rock in the road Then they walked away, not once thinking that they can easily move it by themselves Even the current Prime Minister of this country and his army of soldiers also ignore the rock “Well, whoever saw such carelessness?” he said, as he turned his team and walked around the stone “Why don’t these lazy people have that rock taken from the road?” And so he went on complaining of the uselessness of others, but not touching the stone himself, turning to a different direction so as not to collide with the stone The king felt so angry, but he did not say anything He persevered waiting for a man to lift the rock out of the way His waiting in effort was not wasteful when a few mintutes later, a peasant was carrying a load of vegetables on his shoulder He was a hard-working man, and was very tired, because he had been busy since early morning untill the night But he said to herself, “It is almost dark Somebody may fall over this stone in the night, and perhaps a a pregnant woman and the liitle chidrents could be badly hurt I will move it out of the way.” He was using his full strength to lifted the stone until he moved it from its place After finishing, so surprise, he found a big bag under the rock with a purse Inside contained countless gold, perhaps enough to live for his rest life after Upon it had a letter from the king, he said that this purse belongs to the one who moves the stone The peasant smiled happily, then wrote a few lines of reply, put the letter down next to the stone and went on The king was very curious, waiting for he to leave, then proceeded to open the letter Did you know the letter that the peasant sent back to the king? He wrote that "Dear Sir, I don't know who you are but thank you very much for the money you give me But I will not use that money, my life and current job have been enough to support me This money, I will give to the poor people in my village, they are poor and need this money more than me It look like I help you to the kindness work Thanks indavance for your support” No longer after, the peasant was conferred the title of brand new Prime Minister, and the heartless Prime Minister was removed and pushed down as a civilian because of his nonchalant attitude, did not take care closely to people's life The country from now on, the people's life was warm and happy when there was an wise king and a generosity minister lead the country  ... from the king, he said that this purse belongs to the one who moves the stone The peasant smiled happily, then wrote a few lines of reply, put the letter down next to the stone and went on The. .. leave, then proceeded to open the letter Did you know the letter that the peasant sent back to the king?
