"However," the Wise Man said, handing him a teaspoon with two drops of oil, "carry this spoon with you without spilling the oil."

Instead of a monk, he found a bustling hall filled with music, platters of food, and people talking. The Wise Man was busy, so he told the boy to walk around the palace for two hours.

"The Secret of Happiness," the Wise Man said, "is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil in the spoon." ✨

The boy admitted he had seen nothing; his only focus was the oil.

A merchant once sent his son to learn the "Secret of Happiness" from the wisest man in the world. The boy wandered the desert for forty days before reaching a magnificent castle atop a mountain.

Enjoy life’s beauty without neglecting your responsibilities.
