Force or Persuasion?
Wind and Sun had a contest - which one was mightier of the two! And to settle, they decided, the winner would be one who would make a man take off his coat.
So blew the wind with all its might, as fiercely as it would in the wildest of storms - but stronger the wind blew, tighter the grip man had on his coat. He clutched on to the coat as his last resort - till the wind gave up.
Sun, on the contrary, just smiled. Its bright, gentle smile and pierced through the wind and clouds ... straight into the man's heart. He felt the warmth and a sudden desire to take off the coat and accept the sunshine in all its glory. He took off his coat and smiled back!
What force cannot achieve, persuasion does!
