 It is not you alone who can take the credit of your success. Let me prove that for you by narration of this short story. A bus full of passengers was on its journey and suddenly the weather changed and there was huge downpour. It was raining and lightning all around. The passengers saw that lightning appeared to strike their bus and then it moved ahead without hitting the bus, luckily. After two or three such instances, the drivers stopped the bus about 50 feet away from a tree and said, rather announced that we have somebody in the bus whose death is a certainty today. Because of that person, everybody else will also get killed. I want each person to go one by one and touch the tree trunk and come back. Whosoever's death is certain will get caught by the lightning and will die, obviously. But everybody else will be saved. They had to literally force the first person to go and touch the tree and come back. The first passenger reluctantly got down from the bus, went and touched the tree. His heart leaped with joy when nothing happened and he was still alive. This continued for all the other passengers who were eventually all relieved when they touched the tree and nothing happened to them. When it was the last passenger's turn, everybody looked at him with the accusing eyes. This passenger was also very afraid and reluctant. Everybody forced him to get down and go and touch the tree. With the fear of death, the last passenger walked to the tree and touched it. There was a huge sound of thunder and the lightning struck and hit the bus. Not the tree, but the bus. Yes, the lightning hit the bus and killed each and every passenger inside the bus. It was because of the presence of this last passenger that thus far the entire bus was safe and lightning could not strike. Actually, he was the saviour and not the perpetrator as all the passengers had thought. Sometimes we exclusively try to take credit for our achievements and success. But this could also be because of the person right next to us. Our success could be attributed to that person. Probably someone is there around you in the form of parents, spouse, children, siblings, friends, a supporting senior colleague, etc. who are saving you from harm. So try to acknowledge and appreciate people around you. They could actually be part of your success story.
