Decades ago, in a village in California there was one
old, his job is a handmade knife. Every day
The old man went from house to house to offer
his service. He went around while ringing a small bell, to
attract people's attention.
In the beginning, many people took advantage of his services.
Every day there are always people who donate knives or
scissors them to the old man. With sharpening work
knife, the old man can support his family.
Year after year passed, the era grew more modern and made everything
be practical. Likewise, knives and scissors
on the market is getting quality and cheap. So slowly,
the land no longer exists a man who raises his knife or scissors.
They prefer to buy new ones instead of sharpening them.
As a result, there is no longer anyone who needs the services of the parent
the knife sharpener. But every day the old man remained
walking around as usual, hoping there are still people who want to
take advantage of his services.
Initially, the old man was still excited. But over time,
his spirits slackened because he felt no more people
who needs him. Time passes, finally not long, parents
it died. Some say that the old man
died of cancer. But actually what causes people
the old died?
What would you feel if there were no more people in need?
You?
You will feel "dying inside!".
According to the needs theory of Abraham Maslow, most human needs
high is self-actualization.
You will feel so mean when
You are needed by many people. Therefore, make something
who can make yourself needed, develop your potential!
