Lower Yourself

In old days, one Roman philosopher told his students that if you wanted to reach a high place, you had to start from low. This is a principle which can be accepted in our life, in work in the relationship with other people.
For example, if you work in a big enterprise and you wish one day, you can be in a top position. Then, you should start from a low job and slowly, through your performance you will achievement your high position when time matured.
If we want to be a successful person, we need to learn and face many problems, pressure, mistake, disappointment. Such things are unavoidable in our road to success.
A case at somewhere many years ago, a young man was not happy with his life and felt disappointed. One day he went to see his schoolmate who lived in village whose father was a fishman. When the fishman went to sea to work, he accompanied him. He asked the fishman why there were so many fish in the sea? Fishman replied that because the sea was so huge and he asked again why the sea has so much water? Fishman said that sea bottom was the lowest place in the world, it could accept any water from streams of all mountains of the world.
