This is the Story Of The Chinese Farmer. The story is taken from the Huainanzi, an ancient Chinese text that consists of a collection of essays written sometime before 139 BC. I love how these stories dating back over 2,000 years are still so relevant to our lives today. Wisdom is timeless. I think this story is a great reminder to stay grounded when things are going wonderfully and to not lose spirit when it feels like our bad luck will never end. What did you take from this story?
