Bullseye : A Short Story

Since time immemorial, stories have helped drive home a message; Messages that have brought a change in our perspectives, our attitudes and mind-set, in general.

My earlier posts, "Walking the Path" & "Commitment meter" were very well received & this inspired me to share one more Short Story.

Once there was a warrior, an Archer. He was the best one from those times.

Being the best also brings along a little ego. Ego can make a person think that he is better than even than the teacher who taught him his skills.

And filled with his big ego, one day the archer went to his own teacher & challenged him in archery.

The teacher simply smiled and said, 'What good will it bring you, if you defeat me? If you defeat my teacher, then yes, you will undoubtedly become the best archer in the world'.
