A man wanted to dig a well to water his farm. After digging for sometime in a place recommended by water diviners, he found no water and got disgusted. Ha had dug only about fifteen feet.
Along came another man who laughed at him for digging there, and pointed to another place. The farmer went over to that spot and dug and dug, for about twenty feet. Still no water, and very tired, he finally took the advice of an old neighbour who assured him there was water at yet another place.
After he had given up that one too, his wife came out and said,"Where are your brains? Does anyone sink a well that way? Stay in one place and go deeper and deeper there!" Next day, rested, the farmer spent all day on one hole and found abundant water.
One needs to have perseverance to dig deeper and deeper for the treasures of life, which like water and coal, are always hidden deep inside and us not available for those who work shallow.
