Once upon a time, there was an old man in a village. He was well-known as wise man in his village because of his ability to communicate with dying tree so the tree can alive again. His ability made his village always green.

People in his village often asked him for help if they found a dying tree. Day by day, he was well-known not just in his own village but also neighbored village. Because of that, in one day he is requested for many orders.

One day, he wants to show his ability to many people as much as he can. Then announcement was spread in many villages. The day finally comes, and it’s the show time for him. At first he approached a dying tree, and then he sat down and said some magic formulas. But strangely, his magic formula didn’t give any effect. He felt so shocked and then tried again to say the magic formula. The result was same; the tree apparently didn’t live.

Do you know why is he failed? Because before he is well known by people in another village, he spoke by his heart to the dying tree, but now his motivation has changed. He can’t raise the dying tree because to speak with the tree it’s needed to speak by heart.

“In every work that you do, don’t seek for popularity. Do it by your heart, follow your heart.”
