A Buddhist monk teaches his student that salt tastes unbearable in a cup of water but becomes unnoticeable in a river. The lesson: pain and failure are inevitable, but expanding your mind's capacity makes them easier to bear.

A Buddhist monk put salt in a glass of water and forced his student to drink. This is disgusting. It's too salty. Then the monk took the same salt, walked to a river, threw it in, and scooped a cup of river water. Drink again. Oh, it tastes fine. It's the same salt, but now it's easier to drink. This Buddhist story has a powerful lesson. Salt is pain. It is stress, heartbreak, failure, and rejection. And most Most of us do not want it, but life comes salty. So don't avoid salt, get a bigger container instead. When your mind is small, one problem can ruin everything. But when you grow your mind, pain is easier to carry. Listen to the Buddhist monks: If you get salt, don't go bitter, grow bigger. That's 1 Minute. See you tomorrow!
