Once upon a time, there was a king and he had a beautiful daughter who grew up to be the most charming young girl in the entire kingdom and all of the surrounding kingdoms as well. The story of her beauty and charm went far beyond all known kingdoms and every young man of marriage age wanted to marry her. They came from everywhere and literary besieged the king and his daughter.
The king started thinking hard, how to end this and marry his daughter. Who to choose??? How to choose??? There were those princes who are very rich but ugly, others handsome and promising a lot but can they deliver? Others yet who were attractive but neither rich nor poor and many more in between....
A sea of opportunities for both, the king to become even more powerful, and for the daughter princes to get security and love. How to choose?
Then, one day, the king made announcement...
"Let it be known", declared the king, "let it be known that today I have made the decision to give my daughter in marriage to one of you. I would give my daughter to the first one who can retrieve a golden jar from the bottom of the lake in my garden. Anyone who tries but fail, will loose his head this day!"
So, the first young man come to the lake and look, there was that beautiful jar right there in front of him, and it did not seem so deep either.... So he jumped in, but alas, there was nothing on the floor of the lake. He dived once, nothing, twice, nothing... He came out of the lake and looked back... well, the jar was still there, but there was no second chance. He was taken away to cut his head off. So the next one come and the next one and they all lost their heads.... Many who were waiting in line to be next, got scarred by the experience of the previous triers and abandoned their quest....
Soon, there was no one left. Not a chance for a beautiful princes to be married, ever. The king made a final plea.... " Is there no one in my kingdom that deserves half of my throne and the hand of my daughter" he asks.... But everyone was afraid of failure and of possible detachment from their head so no one dared.
Then one day, a humble shepherd come along and said to the king. "Oh, mighty king, I am but a poor shepherd, I have no kingdom and I have no riches to bring you, I have no history of great achievements but I am willing to bring love and happiness to your daughter."
The king was surprised by the boldness of young shepherd and especially by his honesty and felt great sorrow that he will have to cut his head off but, the kings word was the law so he had to allow young man his chance...
They brought him to the lake and watched the head cutters sharpening their axes. The young shepherd calmly approaches the bank of the lake, takes a look at the golden jar on the bottom of it, and walks away....
"Another looser", everyone thought...." But wait.... The shepherd did not go away, he just started climbing a nearby tree.
"What is he doing?" everyone asks, "has he lost his mind from fear? No one ever did that before...."
Shortly, the young shepherd come down holding the golden jar in his hands and handed it over to the king.
Everyone was amazed... "look there was no jar on the bottom of the lake anymore.... But how?"
Then the king explained.... "You see, my people, I needed no riches nor power. I already have that. But I needed a wise person to be king after me. I needed someone who can see with his mind, not only with his eyes. Because what eyes can see can be very deceptive. So I went up the tree whose branches were hanging over the surface of the lake and hanged the jar up side down, so the image it reflects in the water will look like it is sitting on the bottom of the lake. The image presented, and the riches and power promised was too attractive for anyone to stop and think of consequences and to analyze the possibilities. They just jumped and lost their heads... Not a great loss, they never used it anyway."
So like in all fairy tales, they lived happily ever after, but not before someone has seen and done the things differently.
Have you seen, have you REALLY seen the BestMLA, the ads4profit, the 4suns system, the RBRE system, have you really seen it or have you just jumped in the lake?
End of story
