The Old Man and The Durian Tree

A long time ago, lived an old man whose age was over 80 years old. He was planting durian tree when he was observed by a neighbour (a durian is a thorny fruit with a very pungent smell. It is known as the king of fruits and it is very popular in South-east Asia).

The neighbour asked the old man, "Do you expect to eat durian from that

tree? the durian tree will take about 8 to 10 years hear fruit." The old man rested smilingly on his spade. He said, "No, at my age I know, I won't. All my life, I have been enjoying durians, but never from a tree which have planted before. I wouldn't have had durians if other man have done like what I am doing now. I am just trying to pay the other men who have planted durians for me." No wonder, he looked so happy.

We should be givers first and getters second in everything we do. We will not only get what we want but we will be really happy in the end. Because we need to sow first before we can reap.

Pak Tua dan Pohon Durian

Dahulu kala, hiduplah seorang lelaki tua yang usianya di atas 80 tahun. Dia sedang menanam pohon durian ketika dia diamati oleh seorang tetangga (durian adalah buah berduri dengan bau yang sangat menyengat. Dikenal sebagai raja buah dan sangat populer di Asia Tenggara).

Tetangga itu bertanya kepada lelaki tua itu, "Apakah kamu berharap makan durian dari itu?

pohon? pohon durian akan memakan waktu sekitar 8 sampai 10 tahun untuk mendengar buahnya." Lelaki tua itu beristirahat sambil tersenyum di sekopnya. Dia berkata, "Tidak, pada usia saya, saya tahu, saya tidak akan. Sepanjang hidup saya, saya telah menikmati durian, tetapi tidak pernah dari pohon yang telah ditanam sebelumnya. Saya tidak akan makan durian jika orang lain melakukan seperti yang saya lakukan sekarang. Saya hanya mencoba membayar pria lain yang telah menanam durian untuk saya." Tidak heran, dia terlihat sangat bahagia.

Kita harus menjadi pemberi pertama dan pengambil kedua dalam segala hal yang kita lakukan. Kita tidak hanya akan mendapatkan apa yang kita inginkan tetapi kita akan benar-benar bahagia pada akhirnya. Karena kita perlu menabur terlebih dahulu sebelum kita bisa menuai.
