There was a young man who constantly complained about everything. One day, he decided to start over and live a new life. So he went to the wise king and asked him how to live a successful life. The king filled a big glass of wine for him and said, "Take this glass and go around the market once and come back. Then I will tell you the secret to living a successful life. However, do not spill any of the wine, or else you will be punished!" The young man took the glass of wine and did as the king said. When he returned, the king asked, "What did you see on the streets of the market? What kind of people did you pass? What kind of sounds did you hear? The man responded, "Oh king! To obey your command, I could only focus on my glass of wine so that I would not spill it. I was not able to see or hear anything other than my glass of wine!" The king answered, "That is the secret to a successful life. The reason you are not satisfied with your life and always complaining is because you are wasting it. If you have a purpose and run towards it with passion, you will not have time to complain."
