Five men got lost in a vast forest. They tried to find
their way out.
The first man said, “I will follow my intuition and go
left.”
The second man said, “I will go right. I have a strong
feeling about this.”
The third man said, “I think I will walk back the same
path we came. This should be the safest option.”
The fourth man said: “I think we are on the right
track already, so I will keep going straight. I am sure this forest will end
and I will find a village or a farm to ask for directions.”
The fifth man said, “I don’t know what to do. I think
I will climb up this tall tree and take a better look around before I make up
my mind.”
So the fifth man did that. While he was climbing, the
other four men scattered towards their own directions. The fifth man now could
see from above what was the shortest way to a village. He thought that the
others should not have chosen the paths they did. He was wrong, though.
Each man chose his own path and gained a different experience.
The man who went left, found a long path but in the end, it led him to the
town.
The man who went right, had to fight a pack of wolves,
but this way he learned how to survive in the forest.
The man who went back, met another team of hikers and
made new friends.
The man who went straight, found a farm and was hosted
by the family for a couple of days before leaving for the village.
Everyone was enriched in their own unique
way by the journey.
