Inspirational story: You have your own aroma

You have your own aroma

There is a young man who hopes to make some achievements. At the beginning, he always tried to take the courage to do everything. However, gradually he lost confidence in himself and the result was nothing. Therefore, he feels very inferior.
He went to visit a successful elder. He hopes to get some successful revelations from the elder. After meeting, he asked the elders such a question: "Why is the result of other people's efforts always successful, and the result of my efforts is so bad?"
The elder smiled and shook his head and asked him: "If I give you the word 'fragrance' now, what do you think of first?"
After thinking for a while, the young man replied: "I will think of pastries. Although the pastry shop I opened soon has been closed down a few days ago, I still think of those fragrant cakes."
The elder nodded and then took him to visit a zoologist friend. After meeting, the elders asked each other the same question.
The zoologist replied: "These two words will first remind me of the subject being studied. In nature, there are many strange animals that use the aroma of the body to make bait and capture food."
Later, the elders took him to visit a painter friend and asked the other party such a question.
The painter replied: "These two words will remind me of the wild flowers and the young girls who dance. The fragrance can bring inspiration to my creation."
After coming out of the painter's friend's house, the young people still don't understand the intentions of the elders.
On the way back, the elders took him by the way to visit a wealthy businessman who had lived overseas for a long time and had just returned to China to visit relatives. In the conversation, the elders also asked the other party such a problem.
The wealthy businessman who has lived overseas for a long time said with emotion: "These two words will remind me of the land of my hometown. The fragrance of the land of my hometown makes me dream."
After saying goodbye to the wealthy businessman, the elders asked the young man: "Now, you have seen many outstanding people. So, do they know the same thing about 'fragrance'?"
The young man still shook his head in confusion.
The elders continued to ask: "Do they have the same understanding of 'fragrance'?"
The young man shook his head again. At this point, the elders laughed, and then said meaningfully: "In fact, in life, everyone has a different fragrance, you are the same, have their own fragrance. Why do you not do as good as others now? That's because you are just watching how others appreciate their own aroma, and you ignore your fragrance."
