A childless king once created a very difficult puzzle in his kingdom and announced that whoever could solve this “formula of maths” would become the heir to the throne. The kingdom was informed that the person who solved the puzzle would open the door, and whoever couldn’t would be rejected.
After this announcement, not only scholars of the kingdom but also mathematicians from neighboring kingdoms tried to solve the formula. But no one could solve it. Many days passed like this.
One day, a simple-looking young man arrived at the palace and requested permission to attempt the puzzle. The royal advisors were surprised—if great mathematicians couldn’t solve it, how could this ordinary-looking poor boy solve it? But the king allowed him to try.
The young man tried for a while but couldn’t solve it. Then suddenly, he noticed something and used his small but sharp mind. He realized that the door had no relation to the formula written on the wall. The puzzle didn’t need to be solved at all. He simply pushed the door—and it opened!
The truth was simple: There was no need to solve the formula. The real obstacle was imaginary.
Moral of the Story
Many of our life’s problems become bigger because we overthink them.
Sometimes the solution is simple—just like the young man’s small but smart effort.
