Right thinking
English book, p. 19
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Right thinking running a business; otherwise, you could face serious losses. This principle applies to most areas of life. Whenever a situation occurs, one should avoid forming an unrealistic opinion based on superficial or partial similarities. Instead, they should understand the differences between two things and base their opinion on that. A person who doesn’t understand this wisdom is like a driver who can’t tell the difference between an empty road and a crowded one and drives the same way in both. Tenth Point: The Art of Learning Another key principle here is to train the mind to learn lessons from surrounding events. The habit of learning lessons not only promotes mental growth but also shields one from unnecessary harm. A young man opened a shop in the city. After some time, a theft happened. An elder asked the young man for details, and he explained that he had no experience and had installed a simple lock on the shop. The lock could be easily opened, so someone came at night, opened it, and stole goods quietly. The elder said that there is no need to learn this through personal experience. Ample evidence from hundreds of people shows that a strong lock should be installed on the shop. Using a simple lock is like inviting thieves to steal. Our world offers plenty of lessons and learnings. Everywhere, there is something from which a person can learn useful lessons and improve their life. The only requirement is to observe things with open eyes and reflect on them with an open mind.
