In a village lived a successful and rich businessman, named James. However, he often felt unhappy because he had so many problems every day and didn't know how to solve them.
One day, an old man came to the village with 100 camels. It's said he could solve any problem. James went to see him and said,"I'm very unhappy with my life because of a lot of problems. Please tell me how to solve them."
The old man said, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow. But first, can you do me a favor?" James agreed. The old man asked him to look after the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all sat down and rested well.
The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James replied, "Last night, I didn't sleep at all. But I did make all the camels sit down at last."
"Really? What did you do?" The old man smiled and asked.
James answered, "Well, at first, I gave them some food and water. After that, about one third of the camels sat down and rested. Then I covered the ground with dry grass for their resting. Almost all the camels sat down except one. Then I waited for a long time and had nothing to do with the only standing camel. So I talked to it about my problems and touched it softly. Finally, it fell asleep."
"Actually, problems are just like camels-no matter how many problems you have to face every day, just try your best and ▲ " says the old man.
