Guru Dronacharya spiritual master of Kuru (Pandwas and Kaurvas) were always glorifying Arjuna about his focus and his energy in the right direction and being a good disciple in His Gurkul. But Duryodhana felt jealous of Arjuna and his talent.
Once Duryodhana came to Dronacharya and started accusing him of favoring Arjuna and ignoring the rest. To prove him wrong, Dronacharya placed a wooden bird on a branch and decided to put everyone through a simple test.
He gathered all his disciples and asked them to strike the eye of the wooden bird. But before doing this, he asked each one of them a question.
He first called and asked Yudhisthira, "What do you see there?"
Yudhishthira replied, "I see a wooden bird, the branch and the tree, the leaves moving and other birds."
Everyone else who followed also mentioned the same thing i.e tree, branch, bird, leaves etc. and Dronacharya asked them all to keep your bow & arrow down.
When it was Arjuna's turn, he confidently stated, "I can only see the eye of the bird."
Dronacharya smiled for he had been proven right. Everyone else had set their eyes on everything but Arjuna had set his eyes on his goal, the eye of the bird.
Basically, we feel sometimes others are growing why not me, but we forgot one thing where we put our focus our energy goes there. Arjuna puts his focus on only eye of the bird and his full energy goes there and he proved to be a good disciple and everyone knows no one can defeat Arjuna in the war as he is very focused on his target.
But we can see in today's youth they are not very much focused on their Goal instead they want everything at one time and that's the reason their mind always jump here and there like a mad monkey.
In the morning while I was travelling in train one college student was sitting next to me and he was studying something and in between he was playing songs from his mobile and not only this but also start chatting with his friend parallel.
So we can see how much we are distracted from electronic gadgets, media, gossips and finally we put our all energies into it and get nothing out of it.
I am not against Media and Gadgets but while doing one thing keep focus on that thing only don't try do multiple task at the same time, this way you can not focus and apply your energy into it.
If you continue doing what you are doing, you will be continue getting what you are getting because there is no substitute of your hard work and focus.
Nobody is going to live life for you, so you must do some action until you do not do any action in your life you will be like a lion awaiting dear to come in his mouth. You have to chose your own path, do not wait for something miraculous to be happening, but do miracle to the world with your hidden potential.
Everyone has his unique potential, but the only problem is we are not focusing on it. "Changing the Face" can change nothing. But "Facing the Change" can change everything. If you just blame people and the situation the whole life will be less for it, but if you try to change yourself and focus and put your energy in the right direction one day you will definitely achieve your Goal.
