00:00Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a boy named Arjun.
00:07Arjun was bright and full of dreams.
00:10He wanted to be successful, respected, and make a difference in life.
00:16But there was one problem.
00:18He always looked for shortcuts.
00:21He would start something with excitement, reading a book, practicing a skill, exercising.
00:28But after a few days, he would stop.
00:32He wanted big results quickly, and when they didn't come, he gave up.
00:38One day, Arjun went to meet the village wise man, an old monk known for guiding lost souls.
00:45Arjun said, Master, I work so hard, but my life is not changing.
00:51Why do I feel stuck?
00:53The old man smiled and handed Arjun a small empty pot and a handful of seeds.
00:59Plant one seed every day in this pot.
01:02Water it daily.
01:04Come back to me after one month, he said.
01:07Arjun was confused but agreed.
01:09For the first few days, Arjun was excited.
01:12He planted a seed, watered the pot, and waited.
01:16But by the third day, he became restless.
01:20Nothing is happening, he thought.
01:22Still, he remembered the old man's words and kept going.
01:27Days turned into weeks.
01:29Arjun watered the pot daily, though there was still no sign of a plant.
01:34Many times, he felt like stopping.
01:37What's the point?
01:38I'm wasting my time, he thought.
01:42But something inside told him to keep going.
01:45On the 15th day, when Arjun poured water, he noticed a tiny green sprout coming out of the soil.
01:53His eyes widened with happiness.
01:55It's so small, but it's growing.
02:00That little sprout motivated him to keep watering every day.
02:04By the third week, the sprout had turned into a small plant.
02:08It still looked weak and delicate, but Arjun felt proud.
02:13He started waking up early just to water it.
02:17He protected it from strong winds and made sure it got sunlight.
02:21Slowly, Arjun realized he was changing too.
02:25He was becoming patient, disciplined, and consistent.
02:30After a month, the plant had grown strong and healthy.
02:34Arjun took the pot to the old man and said with a smile,
02:37Look, master, it finally grew.
02:40The old man nodded and said,
02:42What about you, Arjun?
02:44Did you grow too?
02:46Arjun was surprised.
02:48Me?
02:49Yes, the wise man said gently.
02:52Earlier, you wanted big changes in one day.
02:55But this plant taught you that growth takes time.
02:59You didn't stop watering it, even when nothing seemed to happen.
03:03That is consistency.
03:04And that, my boy, is the secret to success.
03:08Arjun's eyes filled with tears.
03:11He understood.
03:12From that day, Arjun changed his approach to life.
03:16Instead of chasing shortcuts, he started taking small steps daily.
03:21He read just 10 pages every day.
03:24He exercised for 15 minutes daily.
03:27And also, he practiced writing for 30 minutes without fail.
03:32He didn't look for results every day.
03:35He simply focused on doing his work with consistency.
03:39Months passed.
03:41Arjun became more knowledgeable, stronger, and skilled.
03:45People in the village noticed the change.
03:49The same boy who once gave up on everything became the most disciplined and successful young man.
03:56One day, when a younger boy came to him asking,
03:59How do I succeed, Arjun Paya?
04:02Arjun smiled and said,
04:04Take small steps every day.
04:07Be patient.
04:08Be consistent.
04:09Even the tallest tree starts as a tiny seed.
04:14Friends, life does not change overnight.
04:17Big results are built on small daily actions.
04:21Most people fail not because they lack talent, but because they stop too soon.
04:28Consistency may look boring at first, but it is the most powerful tool for transformation.
04:36Consistency may look boring at first, but it is the most powerful tool for transformation.
