A Lesson from the Tripitaka: The King and the Crispy Pancake
Dr. Ddnard recounts a story from the Tripitaka to illustrate this principle. There was a king who repeatedly tried to capture a city by attacking its center, but always suffered defeat. One day, while fleeing battle and hiding in the home of a poor family, the king observed a mother teaching her son, who was about to eat a hot crispy pancake.
The son tried to bite the pancake directly in the middle, scalding his mouth. The mother scolded him, saying, “You’re as foolish as that king who always attacks the center of the city and always loses!” The mother taught her son that to eat the pancake without getting hurt, he should start by eating from the edges, gradually working his way to the center. Only then could he enjoy it properly.
Strategy for Success: Start from the Periphery
This story reflects a crucial principle for achieving success. Dr. Ddnard points out that when we aim to accomplish something, we shouldn't immediately target the "core" or "essence" of that task. Sometimes, we may not yet have the capacity to deal with those central aspects directly.
What we should do is start by gathering details and understanding the surrounding context. Take care of the small things around us first, gradually building influence with these elements to facilitate overall success. This is akin to "dropping breadcrumbs along the path" to create a stable and sustainable route to the main goal.
To achieve anything, it's not just about focusing solely on the desired outcome. It's about setting the right context, gathering details, and slowly building a foundation from the small things around you. This approach will truly help you reach your desired goals. Dr. Ddnard and her team wish everyone courage in planning and moving towards success in their own way.
