Motivational story
The Teacher had
given a discourse on creative thinking. Afterwards his disciples approached him
and asked him to set them a problem that required them to think creatively. The
sage gave them a sieve and asked them to fill it with water at the sea, nearby.
They were gone for a long time. Finally he went down to the beach to see what
they were doing, and found them seated morosely around the sieve.
They scrambled to their feet when they saw him.
“You’ve set us an impossible task, sir,” said the oldest of the disciples. “It’s just not possible to fill a sieve with water.”
