The stone and A stream

The Stone and the Stream – A Motivational Story
In a quiet valley, a strong and steady stream flowed down the mountains, carving its way through rocks and earth. One day, a large stone sat firmly in the middle of the stream’s path. The stream, small at first, tried to push the stone aside, but it would not budge.

Frustrated, the stream thought, "This stone is blocking my way. I will never reach my destination." But instead of giving up, the stream continued to flow, moving around and over the stone. Day by day, the water’s persistence began to wear the stone down, smoothing its edges and eventually carrying small pieces away. Over time, the stone, once immovable, had changed—shaped by the gentle but relentless force of the flowing water.
