BLACK BELT

A young martial artist has been selected to earn a black belt after years of hard work. This belt was to be given by Master Bablu in a ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, the young man came in front of Master Bablu to receive the black-belt.
“Before giving the belt, you have to take one more test,” said Master Bablu.
"I am ready," said the young man; He felt that maybe he would have to compete with someone.
But something else was going on in Master Bablu's mind. He asked, “You must answer this question: What does it really mean to earn a black belt?”
"End of my journey," said the young man. "Reward for my hard work.
Master Bablu was not satisfied with this answer and said; You haven't qualified for black belt yet, come back after a year
A year later, the young man once again reached to get the black belt, Master Bablu again asked the same question, "What is the real meaning of achieving a black belt?"
"It marks the greatest achievement in this art," said the young man.
Master Bablu was not satisfied and waited for some time that he should say something else but the young man remained calm.
"You haven't earned the belt yet, come back next year." , And saying this, Master Bablu sent the young man back.
After a year again that young man was standing alone in front of Bablu, Master Bablu again asked the same question,
"What does it really mean to earn a black belt?"
“Black Belt is the beginning of a never-ending journey that takes discipline, hard work, and the yearning to always touch the best standards.” The young man replied with full confidence.
Master Bablu was pleased to hear the answer and said, “Exactly. Now you have become worthy of getting a black-belt, accept this honor and start your work. Education
Many times after achieving a big achievement, we become a little relaxed, maybe this is the reason why reaching the top is easier than staying at the top. We need to work even harder according to our achievements and maintain our respectable reputation.
Always be happy.
