In a dry village, an elderly man placed simple clay pots beneath the roof before every rainy season.
People wondered why he spent so much time preparing for rains that had not yet arrived.
He smiled and replied, “The wise prepare during calm days.”
When summer returned, those humble pots held enough water to help many families.
Life offers the same lesson.
Opportunities often favour those who prepare quietly, long before success becomes visible.
Knowledge gained today, kindness offered today, and discipline practised today become tomorrow’s strength.
Like the rain collector, we may not control when blessings arrive, but we can always be ready to receive them.
