Great Heights
Great Heights
Do you know that with your words alone, you can transform your generation? Time has proven that you don’t need hands to reach out; all you need is a sound mind. Without a sound mind, you cannot achieve anything, not even failure. Do you know that there is a point beyond both poverty and wealth, and it is an unproductive mind—not laziness—that will take you there? This state of mind is akin to oblivion, a state of nothingness, where nothing makes sense, not even death.
I don’t want you to reach that point, which is why you must pay attention to what you see, what you hear, and what you think. Especially what you see—people with no visible vision possess the soundness of mind because they use their minds to create what they perceive. I once heard a story of a group of blind people who were brought close to an elephant to “see” and describe what the elephant looked like. These blind individuals gave unimaginable descriptions that astonished people. Were they wrong? To the simple-minded, “Yes.” But to those who understand that sight goes beyond physical seeing, it becomes clear that depth is more than identifying colors, animals, or material existence.
While others saw an elephant, these blind people felt something beyond the physical realm of reality. In summary, just because you have eyes doesn’t mean you can truly see. The realities that lead to comfort extend far beyond the fleeting sense of satisfaction you feel; it is the manifestation of coordinated waves of molecules coming together to form a sensation known as temporary satisfaction. But if you genuinely want to change the world—if you want to change your life, happiness, career, and purpose—you must first understand that no physical deformity can limit how far you can go.
Great heights are the product of great minds.
